I would definitely lacquer it, perhaps even two coats. Have you priced it up for someone to it professionally or are fancying having a go?

thanks for reply.
well i spoke to the guy who i got the spray from and he said your not ment to laqure it as it will just go glossy. i wanted to have a play with it see what it comes out like.
