Hi guys,
I think the fumes of the paint you use is more dangerous than the asbestos sheet left alone or encapsulated. Icon_smile

I always use an enamel based paint or enamel clear to cover the sheet. I think lacquer may eventually get brittle and flake off. The enamel and oil baed paints should remain somewhat flexable for a long time. Maybe a coat of 'poly' would actually be best.

The 'engine enamel' may be better than high temp header paint. The high temp stuff dries flat and might be more susceptable to flaking later on. I know it flaked off a set of headers I had once after a while. I believe the engine enamel is good up to about 400 or 500 deg.

Nice set you have there.
Take care, Gary.
