I want to be able to seal my lifecolor paints so I can weather it. Is the tamiya ts80 clear safe to use or is it incompatible?

Is there something better I can use for my lifecolor paints?

Hi Mike,

Lifecolor are excellent acrylic paints, my personal favorite. Tamiya TS spray paints are lacquers, so are completely safe to spray over the acrylic Lifecolor. Just make sure you mist it over in light coats until you have built up a solid coat. You don't want any pooling or frosting of the flat clear coat.
