I haven't heard of anyone trying, and I think it'd just make a mess more than help the problem honestly.

This is true. I could also see this maybe creating some unwanted spin on the ball too. Maybe.

Some people use spray adhesive on the barrel. Technically it's illegal, but most all of the pro's do it.

This will help with paint flaking too?

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's putting glue on the outside of the barrel. Make sense to me.

Didn't know if it'd have the same effect as the clear coat to get hard and protect it. I'm curious about this spray adhesive thing. I may give that a whirl.

That's why I was asking about clear coat and not 77 spray. I thought clear coat would protect the bat, but also would stay dry and not come off on the ball or add unnatural spin to the ball.
I probably won't do anything, I just hate that the bat may look like crap after a couple hundred swings.

If I were to guess the clear coat would dry really really slick. May put a whole bunch of spin on it, or may cause a lot of knuckling balls from no spin.

avarice........I dont see it mattering. the bat will be hot and probably in two pieces by the time paint flecking becomes an issue.

I had paint flaking off from the 4th swing. Now, I got over 500 on it and it hasn't gotten any worse.
If you ever want to clean it off, you can use a small amount of goo gone or a mr. clean magic eraser. I haven't clean this bat since about 100 swings.

This. I tried it on a OG Scott Brown. Paint flacked much, much worse. Couldn't clean it for crap either. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would try clear nail polish with glitter in it

Did this as well. Ump told me that due to the glitter only the girls on the coed team could use it
