I spray a clear coat, or enamel over it once it's all painted. Gives some more protection, and makes it look really glossy too.

overtop of the oil based?? what brand clear coat? rattle can, right?

I don't have any experience with oil based. But I used ace premium spray paint, then ace premium clear enamel over the top. Here's a pic of the finished product.

I also recommend Duratex. I've done a ton of boxes with it, its awesome stuff.
