No it's not necessary,any sealer will do,but if your planning to mask it,don't use regular tape,it will lift it no matter what.Use Post its or friskit film work best

 

 

 

Tojo I mask with regular masking tape over Alclad and AK Real Metal without issues. 

 

It usually works for me, but I have had trouble a couple of times.  If it is not on a compound curve I mask with pieces of 3M post-it notes.  Very low tack.

I agree.  Decals stick to it great, and I notice some reduction of the sheen when I clearcoat it.

Do you need to put sealer on Metal color planes ? Testors has one special made for metal paint or is a clear coat just as good , Like Future or a gloss clear coat?
