Shouldve used P600 with a good flatten then black straight ontop as your white paint was good so no need for primer.

Sorry never seen this post before now or couldve saved a bit of cash oh and ive been doing cars for over 10yrs now (god its that long ) so i do know what am sayin here.

As for protecting it there's nothin you can do really apart from apply a protective film to it but that would have the same effect as laquer.

Glad your happy anyways m8
