Protective layer over Satinwood paint?

[GaryyyLDS]

Hello all..

Decided to redo my computer desk like 4/5 months ago.. wanted a nice satin black finish so used 'Dulux Quick Dry Satinwood Black' with a white Dulux undercoat.. sanded in between each layers..

This looked perfect, exactly how i was wanting it and I was very pleased except that overtime the general use of a keyboard and other things I found it scratched a lot to show the undercoat.. even though it had 3 layers on it and was sanded lightly in between all layers..

Is there a protective layer varnish or product that you can put over satinwood paint? that will work well against scratches etc and still keep it satin/matt and not glossy..

Thanks for your help in advance..

You could go over it with polyvine clear varnish. This one is a flat finish but pretty sure they have a choice

Ah right yeh, i was reading into polyurethane.. some say it can work over painted wood fine, although others say it doesnt..
