Yes, this is why I posted the question. I have an old Estes Space Shuttle (long ago retired) that is probably the only surviving rocket that I have from my first incarnation as a BAR (I guess you could say I'm a BAAR). The orbiter was coated with Testor's Glosscoat and has gotten very yellow. I can tell it's the coating because it's over bare plastic, and in a few places where it has flaked off the plastic is still very white. I'm considering gloss spray acrylic sealer. Does anyone have any long term (1or 2 years) experience with that?
