Coating a shark rod

I would like some opinions on what would work best on coating a shark rod. The blank is spray painted in white with krylon fusion, white color and i would like to coat it without having the issue of yellowing after a while or loosing the white color. I was thinking on using "classic supper coat" or permagloss. Would that work? If not, what should i use?

Automotive two part urethane or permagloss. The PG may be too hot though and melt the Fusion.

LumiSeal is another option

I have put permagloss over Dupli Color paint with no problems

Would aftcote work to protect the white paint from UV radiation and remain crystal clear layer overtime or will yellow like any other epoxy used for coating?

It will yellow, as will all epoxies.

So, basically permagloss, LumiSeal or automotive two part urethane would be the only way to go without having the issue of yellowing overtime, is that right?
