What to back finished paintwork with?
What's the best stuff to protect the paint, I mainly use water based stuff but occasionally use a bit of Pactra paint so would need to work with both,
And how long do you leave your paint to cure before applying protective finish? Cheers for your input.

me - 2 days to cure, then 4 or 5 really light coats of Plastikote, blasted with a hairdryer in between.

at the very least 24hrs after finishing and thats 24hrs on the radiators, then 2 very light coats of clear plasticoat no more or it adds lots of weight and can get brittle

must be a difference in each coats Carl - I've had no brittleness and the shells aren't unduly heavy either.
When I say "a coat", I mean one swing of the spray can. Apply two much at once and the plastikote attacks the paint. Each of my coats is seriously light ! Andy
