I have applied a light coat of matte spray lacquer for brass after and you can’t even tell but it looks and plays well, just don’t use too many coats.
Considering having the vapor blast done to a bell that could use it and wondering what's a good DIY matte spray lacquer? Any suggestions?

Here is a before and after of my first scratch finish on a Holton TR-150. I applied one coat of nitrocellulose lacquer for protection.
