I painted some resin buildings for Waterloo and sealed them with some dullcoat. I was wondering if hitting them with some Krylon Fusion would help or hurt the model and paint job? Would it yellow or lift? Would it add protection? Anything to be concerned about? I haven't used Fusion before.

Thanks in advance!

Dullcote should be sufficient to seal the paint. If in doubt give them a second coat. IMO it's the best matt varnish there is.

It will probably work out but you shouldn't do multiple coats of matte varnish. The matte finish is caused by a flatting agent. Multiple layers of this can cause unexpected effects, such as frosting.

For multiple coats of varnish on a model, do as many layers as you want of gloss varnish, which has no flatting agent. Then for a top coat apply the matte or satin finish.
