Default Protecting your shells

im just about to send a shell away to be painted and with this investment clearly I dont want to be losing paint.

so how do you guys protect the paint? or how do you? what do you use?

thanks.

you shouldn't have to worry about that, your painter should seal the shell/s for you.

personally, i use plastikote super clear.

On some shells I will plastikote, and if wings are being painted, I will do the same, but to be fair, as long as the water based paint has time to cure, paint should be sound, I have shells here that are 2 1/2 years old, used regular by the kids, and paint still in tact.
