DPNM Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I typically spray DupliColor paint (rattle can or airbrushed) or fingernail polish. I use DupliColor clear on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DupliColor clear on both. Duplicolor clear straight from the can for me as well. Easy to apply, readily available, and durable. Good enough for me.

dmthamade Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Tamiya X-22 thinned with Mr Color thinner or Mr Color leveling thinner. Next would be Tamiya TS-13. All this might change doing glossy schemes. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I use a 40 % off coupon to buy my Testors Wet Look clear at HL. Still over priced but this helps a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedotwo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Tamiya TS13 or Testors Wet Look for gloss. Krylon Colormaster Satin for satin clear. Testors Dullcote for dead flat clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Testors Dullcote! Yea, I'm really not a shiny guy! When I do a shiny paint job, in most cases the paint itself gives off what I call the proper "in scale shine". In real life cars are not mirror shiny unless they are show cars. The only times I will use a clear coat is when the color coat requires one, as I do use a lot of Duplicolor automotive paint. For instance my recent 1950 Ford Jitney bus used a Duplicolor red that dried flat, as it was a two part color on the 1:1 car. In that case I used Tamiya TS13 which comes out perfect every time!
