How to protect paint on a chest of drawers?

[NextVine]

 

I've revamped an old chest of drawers, "cartoon style" for my daughter's bedroom. Sanded it all back then applied paint. I mixed "mark out spray paint" and white poster paint together in a tray then painted it on. 3 coats. Used acrylic paint for the black edges, and permanent marker and laundry marker for the cartoon details. What can I apply as a protective coat that won't make the paint run and will have a matte finish?

Hi @NextVine,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fabulous to have you join us.

Wow, what a fantastic project, I love what you've done.

I'd suggest you spray it with Dulux Duramax Matt Clear Coat Spray Paint to finish it off and put the cherry on top of a fantastic project.

Please remember to wear the relevant personal protective equipment when spray painting, specifically a mask or respirator.

You might like to check out How To Use Spray Cans for some guidance.

Let me know what you think, and please share the finished project, I'd love to see how it comes up.

 I followed your advice, went with the Duromax Matt clear spray. Did three thin coats.l, 60 minutes apart. Colours didn't run. It's turned out pretty damn good!

Looks great. Not sure if its the light but it colour looks richer now..

Hi @NextVine,

It's come up brilliantly. 

I'm glad I could assist you in putting that final touch on an already fantastic project.

If you have any future projects, please don't hesitate to share.
