Anyone had success with spray coatings to keep inkjet prints from fading?

Yes i have used sprays from Bull Dog Products www.bulldog.com and
Lyson, www.inkjetart.com. Both work quite well on Kodak 260 lb Pro
Glossy stock, a gelatin surfaced paper and Epson Doubleweight Matte.
Many papers don't handle dye inks well. The Kodak Pro paper (rolls
only), Epson Colorlife (Epson printers only) and HP papers designed to
work with their new Designjet printers (Designjet 30 - 130)are all
quite good. Canon has glossy papers that are rated at 25yrs for their
printers only. Ilford Classic papers are designed for dye prints too. I
believe the Iford and Kodak are the only ones that needs coating. But
many papers work better with pigment ink printers, even those that have
been out for a while, Epson Premium Luster comes to mind. Many papers
just aren't very good. Inkjet printing is all a matter of matching the
right materials and equipment. With dye based printers this can be a
little tricky.

I've used the clear sprays that artists use on watercolors, and others have mentioned the
same on this NG.
