Testor's Dullcote over Testor's acrylic - will it work?

[ChrisBcritter]

Last night I finished detail painting/weathering the '65 Nova's chassis. I used both Testor's acrylic and enamel paints, and some areas ended up semi-gloss rather than flat.

If I give the chassis a coat of Dullcote to even it out, will I get any weird reactions from the acrylic paint? Thanks!

I’ve never had any issues with using Dullcote to flatten / seal in any of my weathering and rust. 
 

If you are concerned, spray a little into a small cup and brush some onto the shiny areas

Or start with a very light mist coat, and build up from there.

Two light mist coats and you're done. But if there is any reaction ( probably not) it will more likely be over the enamel than the acrylic, assuming all is well dried.

I have done exactly what Chris wants to do. My "steel" and "aluminum" paints are a combination of enamel and acrylics, plus Metalizer. I use them to make different shades on different parts. I agree that a mist coat of Dullcote probably won't cause any issues. The stuff seems pretty tame. That said, follow what the guys above are saying.

You can use Testors gloss or flat lacquers over pretty much anything.

Shouldn't cause any problems whatsoever.
