When I've painted a shell I spray 2 coats of Halfords / carplan clear lacquer to finish and seal - especially the water based paints as these can rub off quite easily without it. If you warm the shell first and put the coats on thin it goes on invisibly and gives a good tough layer. I then cover with either gaffa tape or cricket bat tape (as above).
