Tamiya Panel line accent question.

[Geno]

Can this be applied then cleared coated once dry or should I use after clearcoating? Thanks, Geno.

Would work either way. I usually apply after a clear coat of Acrylic or Tamiya X-22 gloss. Apply the Line Accent, being on a Acrylic clear, if you make a mistake it can be cleaned up with enamel thinner without hurting the glosscoat.

Aewesome, thanks Don, I appreciate the info. I'm using the Wet Look Clear, will that still work?

Depending on the appearance you're after, I think dmthamade's suggestion may be the best. The Tamiya Panel Line Accent colors make a better line accent then using say just a black color. An example would be say a white model the black line accent is a little to dark, their gray would be more realistic. You wouldn't necessarily want the panel opening glossy either. Just look at your own car in the daylight and I think you'll see what I mean. You could even combine a small amount of the body color and flat black and thin it with some paint thinner. This might even be closer to what the real vehicle might look like.  As always, play with plastic picnic spoons to create the look you're after.
