Only thing similar to what you are doing, is that I have numerous times now ink plotted onto various covering materials with Koh-i-noor. I use their mylar plotting inks in colors and black as they have some sort of etchant and really grab into the shiney stuff.

I load up my pens, and using an older design of plotter, then run the covering through and plot out the intricate designs or text. Initial fear was that the heat shrink process would pop it all loose, but has not so far. I generally lay out a whole sheet with the graphic design and text and do it all in one session. Then cut up the covering and apply.

Only thing have found is to degrease the surface, otherwise fisheyes will appear.

The clear coat is good idea, but I have yet to use such.
