I am doing some paint filling now, on plastic objects. Does anyone seal over the paint fill when done, something to protect the paint fill? Wanting to make sure the paint fill stays in place and lasts well. Maybe it does without any sealer? I have not done much paint fill, so not sure if it is everlasting!
Also, thanks for the paint flood filling method, I had not thought or tried that! :-)

The paint-fill doesn't require a top coat.
A good enamel or acrylic paint is very durable and won't come out of the image area, unless exposed to heavy solvents or abrasion.

Thank you,
I figured that, but was not sure. Thanks for the reply so quickly! :-)
I was always hesitant about doing paint fill, but this method seems to be so much easier then I thought. Thanks again,

You're not alone. When people see paint-filled items, visions of surgical application come to mind.
That's why I posted the most common (flood) method, which, as you witnessed, is anything but exacting. :-)
