Paint them white or they will turn yellow in the sun. Exterior of coarse.
I have not had any that turned yellow Azek is just white PVC
Azek (PVC) is commonly used for exterior house trim. I haven't seen any that has yellowed.

Amen gentlemen. Technology moves ahead and I sometimes get stuck in the past.
I never clear coat PVC.
With time, four years and over, PVC will have a slight soft beige color but you got to be looking for it. I'd almost guarantee any kind of transparent top coat will fail within a year.
Here's one with PVC letter and holding up well.
Joe, your work is awesome. Even though I'm not a sign maker, I always check out your posts and I'm always impressed by both your work and willingness to share with the group.
Thanks,
