They need to be cleared or the shell gets dull. I would not use a lacquer, it's for interior use. Use a good varnish, eurethane or automotive clear. I do remember when we cut these arrow that we wanted for embelishments starting a pinstripe on a car. We masked off the area with sandblast mask and traced the arrowheads and cut and peeled the rubber. With one of those syphon type blasters that can concentrate on a small spot, we blasted through the paint and inlaid the shell, glueing it with cyanoacrylate. Pulled the paint line around it and the stripes and cleared the shell. I haven't seen it in many years now, but I know it held up for many.
