If you have comic shops in Holland they might carry varnish (sealant) that's specifically meant to seal acrylic paint on plastic and metal.

Also, just because it's paint doesn't mean it's going to withstand you scratching the hell out of it. You have to let the paint cure properly and then seal it. I never scratch at my customs so I never have to seal them, sometimes I make a comic with them and have to do touch-ups but that's about it.

True dat GJ. Primer is extremely important.
Anyone use Citadel Skull White Primer yet?
Wanna check it out, any review would be nice.

yep acrylics! also you can prime your figures with automotive primer, which I use (grey color) and works well as a base coat anf helps paint stick well.
