High Gloss clear

[Dwight55]

I'm having trouble finding a high gloss clear for testors enamels. Had 3 cans of #1814 which I really liked.

Now its gone and I can't find it anymore. Can anyone tell me of a suitable replacement. I tried the 2 part laquer

with disastrous results. (Wet look) Thanks ahead of time.

What was the problem you had with the One Coat Wet Look?, that is a very good clear

I guess I should have explained more. I tried to do enamel paint job with a 2part laquer gloss over the top. I've used the 2 part clear with the 2 part paint with good results, From my experience with real car paint, I know laquer will not sit well over enamel.

Both Amazon, and E-Bay have it. I used to buy the stuff at Walmart, only because the Hobby shop doesn't usually carry it.

You can paint lacquer over enamel but not enamel over lacquer...

If you put lacquer clear over enamel you run the risk of the clear cracking. Don't ask me how I know this.

I am assuming this is due to the enamel continuing to gas out.

I have put lacquer over enamel many times I have used the wet look clear over a blue enamel paint job with amazing results. Couple years later and it still looks great

What is #1814?

Joe.

The part # on my old can. I guess every Testors paint has a number

[my80malibu]

1814 is the part number. It is an enamel clear very slow drying, but very shiney when dry.
