Hi I just finished repainting one of my dinosaurs and I am very excited to upload some picture's for the site! Be four I do this I would like to spry some sealant on him so not to rub off any paint. I have never done this before and I am worried I will ruin it! Can any one help? Can any one offer advice on what product to use and how to apply it???

I have had good results on acrylic paint with a spray can named Krylon, which is available in a matte finish, but I do not claim to be an artist. Readily available at many stores.
CANCEL this suggestion. I painted a Safari mudpuppy made of green rubbery plastic, then spayed it with Krylon matte coating. After several weeks, it is still tacky. While Krylon works great on resin models, I will not use it again on rubbery figures.

Walmart used to sell clear paint pretty cheap as a spray. I've coated lots of stuff with it...just don't get too close of it clouds the paint your protecting.
