Andrea,

    For the coating, have you investigated a two part colored epoxy resin
    such  as Ceramit. They have a clear version that is cured by time and
    not heat. It is important with this type of resin to make sure you
    are mixing in the exact proportions that are recommended by the
    manufacturer, otherwise the  product will not set up properly. 

    I think this is a place to start the investigation. Maybe someone
    who has lots of experience can add their comments on using this type
    of product for your application.
