Has anyone tried a light dusting of clearcoat paint?

My bad... I was thinking about covering charcole on paper with hair spray... thought the same thing might work with an autograph...

I don't think it's the silver pen that causes this, but more the paper of the photo.
Definitely don't use hairspray on it. {down}
I think your best bet is to frame it or put a small mat around it and put in a plastic folder. The mat should make sure that the plastic doesn't touch the signature.

DO NOT PUT HAIRSPRAY ON IT! hairspray contains alcohol and will actually remove the marker, not real sure what it would do to the photo

Are silver pens known to do this?

I would get it framed. But make sure the frame has the glass raised so it will not rub on the autograph
