Default Clear coating water base airbrush art.

Clear coat for water base airbrush art.
I am looking for a clear coat to put over some noes art, the paint on the base is rust-oleum paint and the airbrush art is water base.

Thanks for the info, is it an arousal or do you apply it with the airbrush?

I use Krylon clear over water based paint and water slide decals. Works well. It is not really fuel proof but the planes I used it on were electric.

It depends on what fuel you are using.

if nitro.. I have had great success with Top Flight clear matte finish.

if gas, I have used rustoleum and valspar. But my favorite for past 4 years is Minwax poly but only the gold colored label not the silver one.

Its a gas plane, I am using rust-olium paint with water base art airbrushed on top. So the rust-olium clear would be best. Main thing is that it doesn't react with the water base paint. The top flite paint has a bar reaction with rust-o paint.
