Clear coat. I did it and love it. Looks like its wet.  Cons of clear. I have
chipped some areas and you cant really repair it to like new. At least thats
what everyone tells me. Non-skid paint. My friends lancair has it and it
looks nice. Its hard to tell its there.

Or 3M clear bra material. Its not non slip but I am having a company custom
cut a shape for me and putting it over my stub wing in the area where all
the traffic is.  This way it looks like my paint job but actually protects
the paint with an invisible layer of plastic.
