Revell clear coat(Be Aware)

[AFammo]

I attempted to use the Revell brand clear coat.

I tested it on the bottom of a F-16 Agressor and F-2B. 

 

The clear coat appeared to be flat. Cool, I can finish my jets and take the tape off.

The models have been curing for weeks.

The models started to frost and the decals shrinking. I noticed about an hour later.

 

Thought they were ruined, so lets try a different brand of clear coat and see what happens. 

 

 I sprayed both models with Tamyia brand gloss coat. After working on other models for awhile. The decals were clear as before I used the Revell 

brand clear coat. The frosting was gone also.

I put them away and will buy some other kind of "Dull Coat". I heard , Revell/ Testors changed their paint formulas. Now they just suck all around.

Glad I was able to recover the planes. Just leave them shiny. Any more crap sprayed on them, will probably result in orange peeling.

Good info, but why post in the archived sub forum?

I thought, I thought I started a new thread in "tips"? Thats what happens when you post something after a bad night.
