Clear coat over plastidip

Anybody know if you can spray clear over plastidip? I know I know...before anyone gives me a

I'm just seeing what options are out there, if any, for making plastidip glossy instead of flat or dull in color.

wouldn't that make it pointless for plastidip? The only reason to use it is so you can peel it off

I doubt it would look right. And it would not adhere until at least all the compounds from the Plastidip had outgassed. Maybe would never adhere properly.

There was a guy on Gencoupe who painted over plastidip. It looked good, but the wheel got scuffed so the plastidip had to come off. Well it changed the plastidip from stretchy and rubbery to hard and brittle, and had to be chipped off with a knife. Don't do it.
