Have you tried clear butyrate over the Liquitex? I am hopeful that the clear Nelsons Hobby Paint will work well, it's fuel proof to 40% nitro with the cross linker. It should work well over any water based paint.
Not yet, I only started using the Liquitex. I just found it in a local art supplies shop and it has some groovy colors which was the motivating factor. I suspect clear butyrate would be absolutely fine overtop, I should try it sometime soon. I sued Lustrekopte clear because I have a couple of cans. I don't like the color paints, but the clear is convenient for a number of jobs.
