Clearcoating switches with graphics

I just replaced my power window switches and tonneau/hatch switch. Nice new graphics. I was thinking..the old graphics were long gone. Would clearcoat prevent that? Any chance of dissolving the graphics trying to do that? Didn't know if anyone has tried that or not.

well it would be kinda difficult to get the clear to stick to the buttons because you would have to sand it and if you sand it of coarse the graphic would be sanded off.

hadn't thought about the sanding part. Thought maybe I could just put some light spray on it. Thanks eater.
