I have an Earthshaker! pinball machine and recently did some paint playfield touchups. What should I put over the painted areas to prevent the paint from wearing off. I was planning on mylar but is there anything else I should try?

Clearcoat, playfield protector, or mylar

Quoted from PinballPro360:Great!! Thanks for the help!! I'll probably put a little piece of mylar over the painted area
Wax the area first. Many say the wax allows it to be removed easier if it needs to be replaced.
