Serendipity and Cypher answered most of your question, but I have something to add.

There is an alternative to plastikote that I'm aware of, but it doesn't come as a clear paint, which is why I ruled it out. The brand is Cuprinol garden shades.

Another thing I found is that a quick sanding with some really fine sandpaper makes the end result much better. I was unhappy with the rough surface I was left with after applying plastikote, so I started sanding everything down and got a nice and smooth painting surface, which stays smooth after painting as well. I used p320.
