    protective coation
    to prevent your piece from moving during the spraying or painting. get paper and apply tape to back of your shrink dink pieces and stick to paper,
    use matte or hight gloss. (tested krylon works best) I like to use glear fingernail polish. it work but don't make it washable. I learn from a hard way.
    I have not find the right stuff yet still learining how to protective.
