Gloss clear coat

[Carnutter]

Hi guys I'm new here and looking for some help. I'm doing 1/24 cars but I have to use acrylic paints cos of my son in the house. 

I cant get a gloss coat to work at all. I've have used Vallejo, ak interactive. And I don't get if glossy at all with my airbrush at any psi. 

Dose anyone know a good acrylic gloss coat to use for a high gloss look on my cars. 

I cant get the pledge in the uk. 

Thank you peter

Have you tried matching acrylic clear glosses?

[Carnutter]

Do you mean the same paint and gloss. The car is painted in a Vallejo red. I used north of there gloss and still didn't come out to a gloss look. It looks flat.

Try the Tamiya Acrylic clear gloss with their proprietary thinner. It is an acrylic lacquer and can be sanded/polished for a higher gloss.

Check out hardware or home improvement stores for water-based clear gloss polyurethane. You might have to experiment to find one that works for you, but if you do, it'll cost FAR less than typical hobby products--a small can might last you the rest of your life.

Halfords or any motor factors have clear coat that's acrylic,if you don't like rattle cans you can decant it.and spray it without thinning. Promatic is great if you can find it.

Do a test to see if it suits your base coat though.
