I painted several rockets last summer with spray can Rustoleum, Krylon and Testors paints. Some of the rockets have decales, and some have stickers. Which, if any of these would you use to clear coat these rockets?
After a bad lifting/wrinkling problem using an enamel gloss over an enamel finish, like Neil, I've come to rely on Future, (aka "Pledge Floor Care", formerly known as "Pledge FloorCare Multi-Surface Finish" and now known as "Pledge Floor Gloss") rather than risking any paint compatibility problems.
It's a water-soluble acrylic coating that I've used with no problems over decals, lacquer, and enamel paints.
Apply with a foam brush on a rocket hung upside down over a trash can with a plastic trash liner or other disposable (waterproof) container. Let it "drip dry" and reapply another coat if you wish. I've even used it to protect decals on gliders (though I usually have the balsa coated with either a thin layer of dope/lacquer or Minwax Polycrylic to protect the balsa from humidity or a wet flying field).How are you applying it? I tried this years ago, and didn't have great luck with either the application, nor the aging of the coat.
And don't leave the NC on or the wax will "glue" it to the body. I had to cut off top of the AMRAAM because of this.Apply with a foam brush on a rocket hung upside down over a trash can with a plastic trash liner or other disposable (waterproof) container.
