Testors Gold Enamel

I was wondering what to use to seal things that I painted up with the Testor Gold paint. will the test dull coat seal it or mess it up like when you hit alclad chrome with it?

Hey Fenix,

Basically any metallic solvent based paint with be destroyed if you attempt to seal using a solvent based sealer.

well if you are going to use the aclad paint the surface needs to be glossy black to get the best result.
