Does Anyone Clearcoat/Matte Spray Sticker'd Parts?

I just watched the Lego designer video of the "Maersk Triple-E" and it must have 50 stickers for all the cargo boxes and I've watched some reviews on Youtube and they don't look all that great...

 

I was curious if anyone has used standard plastic model-making techniques on Lego's; namely sticker'd parts?

 

From my experience making Gundam models, there are things you can do to sticker/decal'd parts that will blur the lines between the sticker and the pieces, giving it a more "printed" look that most of us prefer.

 

Or is this treading into dangerous territory; I've only heard of using these methods on DECALS and not necessarily stickers...

 

Thanks!

At first the purist in me screamed "no way!" as I can't stand to alter the original set in any way.  Though I do think you may be onto something here.  For people intending to display a set long term it could be a good option I guess.  Interested to see if anyone has tried it and what the results are like.

 

I tend to leave stickers off for most sets as well.
