    Default Clear Finish over Paint

    I have painted some old paper finish woodgrain random groove ply sheeting (about 1/8" thick) using the following products
    Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 Primer Sealer (one coat)
    Dulux Wash & Wear 101 Super Acrylic Low Sheen (two coats)
    The Dulux paint has been colour matched to match Wilsonart Panelart Double sided MDF, colour - D14 Port with a Matt finish.
    The paint finish does not appear to be tough enough to withstand the traffic area. It is in a rumpus room and bar area.
    What I was thinking was that I may be able to put a hard clear finish over the paint work to make it more durable.
    Something in low sheen or satin finish.
    Preference to water base rather than oil base but not essential.
    I was considering Cabot's Crystal Clear but it did not get a good report on another thread.

    So what do you think?
    Is it feasible?
    What other product would you recommend<

    Thanks,
    Mal

    Bob,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Are you referring to the CFP Water Based in the flooring section at the Cabot's site?
