This is not sealing and you don't polish. When you paint, the plastic is cloudy.

I would think that you could get a two part spray bomb put together by a local paint jobber.

I just use the clear I have in gallon containers. Does not take but a couple ounces.
Yeah, you want to UV protect the plastic once polished. There are epoxy clears that do this but perhaps simpler is to us some of the 3M films (clearbra type stuff - less skill and equipment involved)
