I’m close to being ready to paint my spirit pack after some modding but I have a question …
After painting it all do I do a top coat/coat of lacquer?

I’ve painted the cyclotron with textured spray paint already, and the rest will be done with satin paint very soon.
I plan on weathering it the second my silver paint and rub n buff arrive, but after that I’m wondering do I protect it with some sort of top coat or lacquer.? Or do I leave it as is?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

I didn’t on mine, but it wouldn’t hurt. Id just make sure the clear coat you use is the correct finish you want ie gloss, satin, ect. Doing some patches of high gloss could make it look like there is residual slime on it which could be cool. Id also do some tests to make sure your paints dont react weird with the clear coat before you spray your pack
