>sometimes they do seep a bit
Consumer resins have a life expectancy of about one year; less if you live somewhere humid. When they start going bad they'll sometimes refuse to mix completely, and you get seepage.
Lots of good advice here; I'd add that some acrylic paints are pretty fragile' especially ones made for an airbrush. Sealing them helps. Matt varnish is good, but it doesn't protect as well as gloss, and if the parts are gonna get handled a lot you should probably use a gloss varnish on them. Once it's dry you can take off SOME of the shine with a coat of matt.
And yeah; the Testors varnish is my fave too.
