How do you guys do it? Is there some finisher you can buy at Toyworld or something?

Clearcoat; Walmart should have some in the model section if not you have to go to a model shop. I don't know how well it would work on a model but if neccesary you can probably get auto clear coat from an auto-parts store.

What ever you do don't use a hard coat like shelac for a model. If it gets chiped you've pretty much ruined your paintjob if not the model as well.

Shelac? Never heard of it before. Should be safe for now. ;)

BTW, Jin's website recommends using a satin sealer or matte if you choose to protect it. What are those? :-?
