Fairly flexible sealant (after paint) for my EVA foam armor ?

I am currently remaking my Sesshomaru armor. My first try was okay but could really be improved (especially regarding it's paint job)

For painting, I will be using Leak repair spray from Action (it works like Plastidip) as a primer and acrylic spray paint. I am just unsure about the top coat. That top coat will need to be a little bit flexible. While I don't intend to twist the armor around, It needs to flex a little little bit just so I can put in on and remove it.

I saw people using mod podge for that, but I am worried about it cracking.

What do you advise for the top coat ? Will mod podge work ? If not, what do you suggest ? I am located in France

Would using mod podge as a varnish/sealant (after painting) keep my paint flexible ?

I am remaking my Sesshomaru armor

I will be using a Plastidip equivalent (Leak repair spray) as a primer and black/silver spray paint. For the sealant, I saw that people typically use mod podge (which I did not use on my first try because I am dumb).

However, the armor needs to remain a little bit flexible (I won't twist it, put putting it on and off will require the paint job to allow for a bit of flexibility). Would using mod podge as a sealant allow for that ? Or will it cause cracking when the foam flexes a bit ?
