    I have painted some models with acrylic colors and than used a spray coating to protect the colors.
    I Always use the polish Material for painting.
    If you want to paint it its a good Idea to prime the parts. The material is very porous so th color is diffusing through the material. And the Material is absorbing the paint ...
    Even with paint and coating the surface will not be very smooth.

    There are a few reports here in this forum cautioning that Krylon varnishes may themselves cause a slight yellowing of unpainted WSF, though the "UV resistant" one was never specifically mentioned. So it would indeed be good to hear from anyone who has specifically used this exact Krylon product - it would be rather unfortunate if it brought about what it was intended to prevent.
