I would like some advise on sealing the surface of a model after applying waterslide transfers, the type produced via a home computer and ink-jet printer. The model is finished with Halfords car spray paint.

What overall finish are you intending for the whole model i.e. gloss, satin or matt?

Dave – The transfers are to go onto the superstructure of the model which is gloss. The other areas are deck (matt) and hull (satin).

Then overcoat the transfers with Humbrol Clear Coat. It's not going to attack either the transfer or the paint. You can apply it with a brush and it won't leave brush marks. BTW they also do Satin Coat and Matt Coat.
