Sealent for Diecast parts

[GobotFool]

Hey, I am really getting sick of the chipping of paint on my 1S's landing gear doors. Is there anything I can seal them with to protect them? and why does it seem I only have this problem with my 1S? my Hikaru and low viz are fine. *sigh.....* should I just sell it and get the new reissue coming out at the end of october?

"Citadel" spray matte sealer would probably work. I can't say for sure but it works on my car

where can I get citidel sealent? also would you recomend touching up the chips? if so what kind of paint should I use?

citadel spray matte sealer is typically sold at any tabletop gaming store. The same stores that sell warhammer/D&D/pewter miniatures and paints. As for touch up... That is best answered by another as I normally remove all flaking paint with a brush and start from scratch with primer. I know my old show 79 camaro had artic white paint and one or two rust spots were cured through prep work, painting a few layers of the closest citadel paint [perhaps not the best but what I had and what I know] and sprayed with sealer and I never had a problem there-after.

I would almost suggest putting clear tape or a clear decal over it. I've done that before with my Bandais and it works really well. If you get magic invisible tape you can't tell it's there.
