You didnt mention if the mural is outdoors, indoors, or if you primed the concrete before applying the paint. Sealing the paint wont do much good if the substrate (concrete) was not prepared so that the paint would adhere to it properly. Sorry but there is not much you can do at this point except pray.

I have a question about murals/panels myself. True about the priming of the surface first...that's a must.
We painted a panel in the hall 4x6. We primed and painted the panel, now I am concerned that someone may scratch it or add their own brand of creativity to it. What's the best thing to do: seal with polyurathane or something else, or cover with a piece of plexiglass? The plexi will cost about 50 bucks. Avery
