Default RE: Flat Clear Spray??


ORIGINAL: Jet Blaster

Shaun, The Model Master Flat and Testors Dull Cote look great but dont hold up to Nitro or Kero/JetA. I painted my BVM Rafale, BVM F-4E, BVM F-100D and BVM BobCat with Tamiya paints and used Testors Dull Cote on one and Model Masters Flat on the other. Sure looks darn good though.

Wow,

I agree. Those look great. So what happened when it didn't hold up well, did it just smudge off? Were you wiping/cleaning regularly or right after a spill? Part of the issue is I'm doing a simple, inexpensive paint job for a customer, and I'm applying decals (sticky-back) over glossy paint. I use the glossy to get a good, bubble-free adhesion on the decals. When I'm done, I usually go over the whole thing with Lustrekote flat clear, but as I said, that stuff doesn't seem to be flat anymore.... []
