Have you thought about applying kinesiology tape or a longer lasting grip tape? Far more comfortable than electrical tape and not extremely slippery. You can get it in different patterns/prints so that it might also look cool. If the paint chips just bother your hands, you could also use leather hand grips. Obviously, you want enough grip to hang on to the bell but not so much that it can't "roll" in your hands for specific moves. That is very individual in terms of preference but with enough experimentation, you can usually find what works. I have used both tape and leather grips. They typically have a breaking in period (esp as the leather gets smoother) and I just use a light dusting of chalk until then.
Kinesiology tape Grip tape Leather hand grips Regardless of the brand, I tend to keep a separate layer from the handles because I just don't trust the paint (or even the metal) to be safe for chronic exposure. I guess I've read too many stories about lead poisoning etc. Sorry I can't offer a clear coat suggestion. I have not seen a non-toxic brand specifically and my guess is that it would require regular re-application any way as the handles are exposed to higher levels of sweat/friction. HTH.
