Use the same product (usually clear lacquer) that you would use to protect case colors. If it is too shiny for your taste use a flattener to kill the shine. Oscar Gaddey preferred Behelins spray but Testor makes a clear lacquer used by model builders or you can use Tru Oil. If you use a brush on finish you will get the best results if you dilute the lacquer 15 to 1 with thinner and apply two or three coats.
