Krylon UV Resistant Clear (#1305).  Its available in a large can for about
$5 from many art supply stores (e.g., Utrect, Pearl, etc.).

I put down four light coats about 10-30 sec apart (depending on drying
conditions).  You need good ventilation.

There is a large amount of information in the archives on gloss/semi-gloss
papers and spraying.  Search under the word gloss and brightcube.  I started
a thread called Glossy Paper Screen.
