1972coronet Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I'm going to be building a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda in FM3 ; I already have the colour ( Testors 2-stage paint ) , but am lacking the specific gloss clear --- will the One Shot clear be okay atop the lacquer base-colour coat ?
gman Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Always test first, but yes most Testors clear lacquers will be OK to shoot over Testors lacquer color coats. The high gloss Wet Look clear should be fine. Let the base coat flash and dry before overcoating with clear.
1972coronet Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 That's the name ! It's the Wet Look Clear ( is that under the "One Shot" banner ? ) . Thank you .
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 You can shoot Testors clear lacquers over virtually anything, including enamel. I do it all of the time for interior, chassis and engine parts. Testors enamel thinned with lacquer thinner and cleared with Testors #1261 lacquer gloss coat. All Testors lacquer clear coats are interchangeable. Steve
