I guess you have to figure our creative ways to mount the model with the hanger without damaging the finish. If a hanger touched my acrylic finish it would scrape the hell out of the paint job.

It’s flat dark green on a Japanese WWI Fighter – “Raiden”. The paint is dry, but it's the oil on my hand that just keeps getting on the paint. So, its not a paint impression, but rather an oil mark on the flat paint that's noticeable from certain angles, depending on the lighting source. No matter how hard I try to keep my hands clean with alcohol and washing them, eventually its just keeps happening.
Will simple oil fingerprints (not paint impressions) cause a problem?
I'll probably just try the cotton glove route, after I touch up the fingerprints with another light coat of dark green, because there really is no other way to hold the model, which I can think of. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Why can't you help getting fingerprints on your paint job? Sounds as if you need to devise some sort of mounting/holding/rotating system to remotely hold your kit while you paint it. You can use everything from a clothes-hanger to clay-on-a-stick to a lazy susan to accomplish paint jobs that won't have to be touched.
To answer your question, Future over your fingerprinted paint job should give you a perfectly preserved fingerprint.
Vinny,
Let us know where the problem is, and maybe we can come up with a solution to help you! That's why we're here....

Future & Fingerprints?

Question:
I'm using acrylic flats on my model and I can't help getting some fingerprints on the flat finish. Will I get a bad finish if I spray future over the model (for decaling and weathering) even if there are some light fingerprints on the base coat? Or, will the future coat make the prints less noticable?
