it doesn't need it, but if you wanted it glossy then it might be an idea but don't use a car spray one as it will make it peel

You can get Satin clearcoat, or just give it a coat of low gloss wax.
Do you grovel to your master? Do you beg like a dog?

No way! really... I nearly did exactly that... Cheers Franz!  :angel:

Would the Satin Clearcoat mentioned above make it peel? or is it ok to just leave it as the Satin Super paint and not lacquer?

 :daumenhoch: It should be fine without it, but would protect the paint more with it I guess as long as it's made by plastikote.
