What's the best way to seal the paint job, yung tipong hnde na cya mababakbak at kahit anong thinner mo, wla na tlga matatanggal?

I'm trying to do a "delicate" fig kse, plan ko sanang i-paint yung base colors, then seal it off...Pra kung magkamali sa details, e simply wash it off with thinner...I wonder if there is such a way....

Thanks!

Actually, I don't know of anything that can seal it perfectly for a long time. Try laquer clear coats. Yung sa akin ginagamit ko either Tamiya gloss coat or matt finish. Paint thinners can still destroy it, but hey, who would put it in a thinner?

LW: If you plan on doing detail painting, I suggest using different paint media. For the main, base color, use lacquer. Above that, use enamel. If you plan on painting another color, use acrylic. That way, if the top most layer of paint goes to an unwanted place, you can clean it with the appropriate paint thinner without harming the underlying paint.

Finally, clear coat the entire project if you are satisfied. Then the paint is sealed - except to lacquer thinner of course. Lacquer thinner EATS EVERYTHING.

Try this sandwich technique

*prime the model (optional)
-paint the dominant color (e.g. pants)
-seal with overcoat (do not use matt finish yet)
-paint the subdominant color (e.g. jacket)
-seal with overcoat
-paint the next smaller detail (e.g. shirt inside the jacket)
-seal
-paint the details (eyes, skin, hair)
-seal
-wash
-now seal with flat coat

Ok, the idea here is to seal after every dab of color. That way, if you mess with green, you won't mess with the black undercoat or it should be like that. :-) :-)
