Hello.

I am currently in the process of replacing my stat fronts as part of the repurchase option.

Now I have come up with the idea to coat the fronts with a clear varnish before installation to protect them somewhat, regarding their durability.

Has anyone had experience with this? Is that a good idea?

Thanks for your help.

Hello, no experience, just a few thoughts. If the paint is not sprayed, it quickly looks unattractive and with [STAT] the paint could collect in the grooves. If the paints do not get along with each other, you might as well throw everything away. The warranty is voided by painting. Thick layers of paint sometimes chip off more easily upon impact than thin ones.
