Heres a link where you can get a case of 6 or just look for the same brand at any auto parts store. the Krylon brand Acrylic Gloss Clear never dried after 3 weeks so i wet sanded it off a few coats and sealed it in Gloss Enamel and havent had an issue yet. the only problem i have now since this was a centerpiece at a show not to long ago everyone wanted to grab it and the squeezing of the paper has put fine eggshell cracks in the finish. so once built and cleared ( before adding clear componets) i would suggest they are not moved to much.

Dupli-Color (HWP103-6 PK) Clear Wheel Coating - 11 Oz. Aerosol, (Case Of 6)

Confirmed by googling B&Q ... Rust-Oleum Liquid Repelling Treatment | Departments | DIY at B&Q

They also have this ... Rust-Oleum Satin Sealer 250ml | Departments | DIY at B&Q. A much cheaper paint on satin sealer that might be worth a try.

Nearest B&Q is twenty miles away, and I don't get over that way very often, but I'll be giving them both a try next time I'm over that way.

As a follow up to the paperguy comments about Krylon vs Plasticoat. A lot of the model car builders are really complaining about Krylon anymore. Plasticoat seems to still be working well.

I must admit that I never did follow this up, but a quick google shows me that it is now available through Amazon (UK) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rust-Oleum-.../dp/B00KH0CTVG , so it is probably available via Amazon worldwide.
