Custom Rotor

So I decided to get a little creative with my backup rotor. So i had some left over paint from a couple other projects so i decided to strip my rotor and paint the shell, i think it turned out pretty cool but i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on clear coats to help with the paint not chipping when getting hit in the hopper as well as any clear coats that will keep it in the matte finish not gloss?

And a few pics:

He is right. I used to paint my gun and loaders with regular paint (they've always chipped off in my experience) until I discovered duracoat. Duracoat is tough.

As far as clear coat goes try an automotive refinishing supply store. You can get matte finish. And you should be able to buy in in an aerosol can. No it won't be as tough as duracoat but automotive clear coat is tough. Why do you think it's used on cars? Plus it will have uv protection so the sun won't fade the color.
