Polycrylic can seal the wood and make it easier to clean while preserving the natural coloration; just let it air out for a week. It has worked well for my flight.

Make sure any paint you use does not chip, flake, or come off easily, as some birds may pick at it. Off-white will not show as much dirt or poop as pure white.
