Hi! Like some of you, I read Bob Downie's review in the "late" modeling magazine about Revell's new line of paint. But has anyone among you tried the spray clear (cans) in particular? How does it compare to Tamya's TS 13 or Testor's Wet Look clear in particular? Thanks for your input! CT -
Hello! First time poster, not new to the hobby Question I have is, how do you achieve those glassy like mirror finishes on model cars? I have sprayed Plastikote Primer on some spoons to test. I then airbrushed HOK silver enamel (from Wal Mart) by misting several coats. I then airbrushed red metallic also from HOK enamel (Wal Mart). I airbrushed Testors Glosscoat thats from that jar with the purple label. I shot multiple coats until i achieved a fairly glossy finish. After letting it dry for a few hours, I went from 3200 --> 12,000 grit, and polished with Novus #2. The result was really nice but after awhile, it looked like i lost some of that nice luster. Any tips or other brands I can try? Thanks..
