brewsterg6 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 A satin finish on the paint??? It's true, Harry... You're not supposed to point that out!! I was picking based on the colour, and I couldn't find a proper 1950's shade of green, so I made do with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people use paints that are flat or semi-gloss as the base color (sometimes, like you said, because the color is only available that way), and then just shoot clear gloss over the top. That's the way real cars are painted (base color coat and clear gloss topcoat). Works great on models too! Now you know, for your next one!

MarkJ Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Excellent build!! If you want it glossy its not too late for some future, but it looks great just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
