just finished painting my first customized yamato 1/60. a total repaint of a brown vf-1a. and did my first transformation. is there any thing i can do to the paint job to make the paint on it more durable?

There was a thread a couple of months ago. Where the person used several layers of clear coat in critical areas. It was a low-viz custom 1/60.

I don't recommend clear coat outta the can I keep getting poor results. My last project yellowed pretty bad.

Unggh! My questions went unanswered in that thread. You still might get some use out of it though.

I think Future (floor wax) is a good protectant. I've brushed some on a 1/55 tail section and tried to scratch the paint with my finger nail; it's seems pretty durable and is recommended by a couple of the customizers on here. If you don't like the glossy look the Future gives the parts, a dull coat can be applied over it. Hope this helps.
