I don't know about quick but the proper way to do it is to have them sprayed with clear coat. I had mine done at Detailing Dynamics (which is a board sponser). I took them off myself and mailed them to them and had them back in about a week and they turned out perfect. See what you think.

The clear coat is pretty much done just like the clear coat on your car paint so it should last just the same.

Definitely go with the clear coat spray! It looks the best and lasts the longest.

Spraying them will last the longest and it will look best (as long as you dont get dust on while the paint is drying)

A good body/paint shop should be able to do it. Thats where I did mine.
