I have a sign with latex paint and Oracal 751. I've read that Oracal isn't the same as other vinyls. Does it take UV clear ok? I have both 1Shot and Frog Juice; does one work better for this application than the other? Thanks for the help.

Eric, One Shot and Frog Juice both work well as a clearcoat on Oracal but we don't recommend applying vinyl to Latex paints. Latex has a tendency to release gases and oils to the surface for a long time and is generally incompatible with vinyls from any manufacturer. If you absolutely have to use Latex let it cure as long as possible (min. 3 weeks recommended) and clean the surface well.
P.S. I'd love to hear from anybody about their results with Latex paints.
