    So if you filed some off you wouldn't have to clear coat it?

    Others have said filing is risky and could result in chipping.
    I would think IF you didn't chip it with a file then a clear would prevent the filed areas from chipping after.

    Seems to me that if you used a rotary tool on a high speed with a fine tooth cut/grind disc you could grind out some deeper scratches or even use an engraving tip to etch some finer scratches.

    Would these ideas work?

    Testing on scrap material is always a safe route to go.
