to discourage glutons

Hi Greg! Thanks for your input. The Premium top coat is WATER based, and therefore, dries "softer" than lacquer clear (such as Tamya or Revell). Hence my search for those of us who actually polished it. Usually, my final clears are so smooth and shiny that they don't even require polishing (see VW salt car below). But on this specific build, it does! CT

in candy store

Hi! I was completing a candy paint job on a custom project, and somehow, some wrinkling happened while clearing. So, I let it dry, sanded the surface wet with 600 grit, and put two wet coat of testor's wet look clear, to "level it". It worked. I sanded that clear again with 800 wet, and used two wet coats of Mr.Hobby Premium clear to finish it. That clear is water based, so I was not concerned with compatibility, and I was right. No more wrinkles, job saved! However, I want to polish it before doing the final assembly, because all clears loose a bit of gloss when curing, So... Do you have any experience with final-polishing this Premium Top coat, and what would you advise? Thanks for chipping in! CT

Thank you Jeff!

cures sweet tooth?

Hi! I like smooth shiny paint finishes as much as the next guy, but sometimes, just for the sake of building something different, a satin top coat may have a distinctive effect on the table. Here are two very different colors, both covered with Modelmaster Metalizer Sealer, via airbrush, straight from the bottle. The bike is Modelmaster burnt iron, the TBird Tamya's metallic gold. Varietey is said to be the spice of life... CT
