Protecting top coat of paint

[csa3d]

All,

So let's assume one has applied many coats of paint, slowly, wet sanding in between and has achieved a finish they like.  How do you go about "sealing in" your work assuming that I don't have a professional paint gun.  My weapon of choice has been Krylon spray paint, and I've found that spray paint on my control panel alone is not enough, as some has worn off.

I've seen threads mentioning "waxing" and just curious in what's involved to lock in the look.

Thanks

Spray several coats of clear lacquer on it.  You can buy it in a spray can.  It will harden, protect, and make your work shine.

That's what I did - but you might have to sand that too in between coats to keep it smooth (use a VERY high grit - like 1500 or higher).
