So you did this with Acrylic paints... What did you clear it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McLaren Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I was trying a few things around the time I built this, but I'm pretty sure I used DuPont A7480S clear door jam Acrylic. It works great except 1 It is really only suitable for spraying with a mask 2 it drys so hard it's hard to polish You get a great shine but you really have to apply a lot of pressure. I also use future a lot and get similar results but without the downsides. I've heard of future yellowing but that has not been my experience, although my models never see sunshine or fluorescent lighting Now all LED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
