Used Parma FasKolor acrylic for my paint. Should I use the Parma Fascoat clear, or can I just use a coat of paint, or is there something else that will work better?

And yes, I'll be posting pics soon. I need to coat it, peel the outer mask, and put the decals on. Just be warned, it's my first.
 
Usually I use either Parma Fas-Black or Fas-White to back the paint depending on the colors scheme.

When I use latex based paints on my rc bodies ,I back it with either white or black depending on if you want the color of your body lighter or darker!:D
Also if it is going onto a Nitro powered RC I would use a latex based clear urethane and coat it well on the inside so that the Nitro fuel will not effect it.

Backing it with just another color paint will not help protect it. Once I finish painting a lid with any type of latex I always lay down a coat of Parma Faskoat, it just helps a paintjob look better and last longer.
