Vallejo Metal Colors for Car Bodies?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I was just curious if anyone tried using the Vallejo Metal Colors to paint a body with? If so what clear coat would be suitable? I know Vallejo makes a gloss varnish specifically for these paints but I dont know how durable it is. I imagine 2k would probably work as well as future clear.

I haven't done a body specifically, but plenty of other parts - I've used rattle can lacquer, Testor's enamel, Future, Createx clear - I don't think they're too fussy, generally.  I've tried with their steel colors, their bronze and copper and the burnt iron and never had any issues with anything I've shot over them to date...
