    Question about sealers.

    I have a question.

    I got a Frank Gorshin Riddler head from Brian Leitner, who did a brilliant job.

    Teeny problem, there's a teeny paint rub on the back. Not very big, but noticeable.

    I have the right shade of paint to touch it up, no problems there.

    What sealer should I use to keep paint job from being affected by dirt, dust, pollen, the usual stuff?

    Should I use Mod Podge brushstroke matte sealer? It's non-toxic and cleans up with soap and water while still wet..

    Or should I get a spray on acrylic matte sealer?

    I can easily get it from Michael's which is not too far away from me.

    Hmmmm....

    I like Testors. If the head isn't going to be handled a lot, you can use the matt stuff. Gloss protects better, but it'll end up shiny; and even if you later spray it with mat it'll still have a semi-gloss sheen.

      If it was me I wouldn't use a sealer if the area isn't all that big.

      If you do decide to seal I would cover up the face when sealing... So the new sealer dont mess anything up in the face area

        I just want to prevent any future paint flaking and chipping. So ill probably do the whole head.
