Final coat recommendation.


Recommended Posts

I use Microscale Industries Micro Flat and Micro Satin for flat and semi-gloss, respectively. I use Mr Color Clear C46 or Tamiya Clear X-22 for gloss. I always thin to a 1% milk consistency; water for Micro Flat and Micro Satin, Mr Leveling Thinner for Mr Color, and Tamiya Thinner for Tamiya.

I really like Testors Dullcote lacquer for a flat finish.  If I want a less flat but not semi gloss finish, I use Mr. Leveling thinner to thin it, and just eyeball it until the mixture seems "right" ... I know that is not precise or helpful, but I just kind of got a feel for it. 

 

Model Master also has a lacquer semi gloss, which works well.  The testors Acryl semigloss is also a very good semigloss finish. 

 

I have not used any others for a long time,  I have had consistent, repeatable results with the Testors / model master products, I have not felt the need to try other products.
