Mask off your bedding area and use a matte
(not satin) clear over the top for added durability and it also takes away any gloss from whatever paint your using.
My first paint job was on a stug and it's still going strong after going through a few sets of hands.

Thanks @dannyb, judging by those photos, I should be good following the above advice. Did you check what brand of clear coat you are using?

Also any suggestions for what grit sandpaper to key it with?
