Bit of advice please-has anyone ever used a clear coat or lacquer to protect original paint, decals etc, and if so which one- I've just bought a very ratty Ellis Briggs frame from Muswell Hill jumble that although it's lost most of it's original flamboyant topcoat still has faded decals etc showing that I'd like to preserve. I also want to lacquer over my Paragon track shown a few pages back as it tends to get used quite a bit in summer and has picked up a few marks, and so again the original finish needs protecting really for my peace of mind.
I don't want a glossy lacquer/clear coat if possible, but do want something durable, preferably UV protecting, with a matte or Satin finish in order to prevent losses and further fading...
