Cabots satin poly is really nice on necks (I’ve used the spray, but I’m sure brush on would be fine, they are good products.)
It however did not work for me doing water slides. The satin finish means it looks cloudy where ever it’s supposed to be clear.
A cut vinyl decal is a good option, you can get them made pretty cheaply by most sign places.

One interesting point - the acrylic I sprayed on the rear of the body (directly over the timber stain) has come up more satin that gloss after the first coats (first coat and then a top up after it flashed off). It may be possible that the neck would do the same as long as I limit the coats.
Anyone else had experience with wipe on poly and waterslide decals?
