Help with some ski refurbishing?

Okay so I have a pair of old afterbangs that I sanded down, and painted white real nicely with my dads air gun. Then I took a few sharpies to it and drew some designs. Dilemma: now that that's all done, should I clear coat it or should I leave it raw like originally with the afterbangs. And also, will a clear coat get all weird with the skis (stretched, cracked, ect) since they are so flexible?

Leave it the way it is so it gets that worn skateboard look and you must also post pics

Clearcoat that shizz. 

If not, it'll look like hell in a couple days.  Een if the clear chips up a bit, it'll still look better than dirt and grime on basecoat, y'know? 

Oh yeah, and pics plz
