[WWI] Gloss and flat finishes The solution

[Tom Solinski]

Well went to the arts and crafts giant Hobby Lobby, the store I went to did
not even have Testors flat in any form.  Looked at the craft paints areas.no
matt.  Went to the artists painting area and found a Krylon apparently
enamel product, Matt, guaranteed not to  yellow.  Glad I had a 40% off
coupon

 

We'll test and see

Mine is, and has been for years, Poll Scale  (acrylic) flat, it stays flat,
even when mixed with Future (not too much Future), and has not betrayed me
yet. FWIW

Good day all

Slipping out of lurk mode, first my complements to the models that have
apeared here lately, lots of beautiful work there.

Working on an ot flat decked floatie thingie that will need some gloss on a
very corrogated deck to get a bunch of decals to adhere properly, followed
by a flat coat to bring it back to scale.

My last attempt at using my old standby Testors flat laquer in a spray can
left me very disappointed.  The laquer had yellowed, changed the tint of the
grays and left a lot of ugly brownish runs all over the other project I
worked on.  

What are your favorite products for restoring a flat finish over a Futured
glossed surface.

TIA
