Cheap, accessible FDE Paint found! Now how to protect it?

Hey guys,

I've finally painted my new AEG with the closest and most accessible paint I could get for FDE: this is Tamiya's "XF-72 Brown (JGSDF)". It's not an exact match; but it's still really close (at least, to the Magpul FDE parts I had for comparison), and actually really easy to find in most hobby shops. You must airbrush it, so it's relativly easy to add a little bit of khaki to it so it's an exact match.

Now, my question: it's a plastic model paint made for display, not for actual "heavy" handling like we airsofters do.

Do you know of any clear matte coating that I could spray on top of it for an additional layer of protection?

Thanks,
Conker
