Sir Douglas:
What I do with my shields is prep the canvas with a few coats of gesso, then just go over that with plain ol' acrylic.
You could probably even skip the gesso if you really wanted to, but I use it just to make sure no oils from the wood seep through the canvas to the paint.
Sir Patrick:
I just use acrylic primer and acrylic paints. I do a couple of layers of satin polyurethane as a topcoat.

Also got the heater shield from Kult of Athena.

I would probably just use regular acrylic paint unless you want to make it a pain in the butt.

I thought this was for a shield
Sir Edward:
I cheat even more. I've been using flat/matte finish spray paints for armor and shields. It looks pretty decent. The trick is doing the masking right, so you don't have sprayed edges that give it away.
(The shield in my avatar pic was done this way)
