Narampa Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 A while back it was noted by Chris Chapmen that MOP AND SHINE. No longer shone like it used to. I did not realize this and bought 2 liters of the stuff. Had a model all painted and ready for the shine. Wrong! Did not work just as Chris said. So I stripped it off and started over found the right product and was back in business. Turned out well but was double the work. I am now working on another car but I don't want a shine I want a flat looking paint somewhat like a primer. Would the not so shiny mop and shine work for this and give my some added hardness to the paint? In order to get a flat with Acrylics what would you do? Acrylics just are not tough enough to leave without some sort of coating.
Tom Geiger Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 If you want a nice dull finish, go with Testors Dullcote in the spray can. It gives a nice flat finish that won't scratch.

Draggon Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Testors also makes clear acrylic in bottles, in flat and semi-gloss finishes. It dries very hard too. Edited January 16, 2015 by Draggon
vintagerpm Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Vellejo make an excellent acrylic flat clear (Flat Varnish, as they call it).
Narampa Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks I will try Testors Dull coat. I wasn't sure it would work on Acrylics.
