Hey guys just a simple question can testors dullcote be brushed or is it better to spray it? My reason for asking this is because I bought a bottle of dullcote at a local hobby shop and thought it might be cheaper and easier to handle in stead of using the spray can.

I do it all the time.

Some have suggested letting the bottle sit for several days until the "stuff" that gives it the flat look settles at the bottom. You then pour off about 1/4 of the clear liquid at the top.

Supposedly gives it an even more flat look.

Either case give it a good shake before using.

I live and breathe Testors Dullcote... I only use the spray can. I prefer to spray it, but when I do wish to brush it I spray it into a small bathroom paper cup and it works just fine. If you want to beat the cost, you can buy it at Michaels using the 40-50% off coupon. I do that when I go there and there's nothing I want there, so I grab paint or Zap-A-Gap so I don't leave empty handed.

I do what Tom does... usually spray it, but if I need fine control or am doing some sort of fine detail on a part that will be only partially dull, I spray a bit into the cap and brush it on.
