Hi Everybody!

I recently painted the upper section of a hull with Vallejo Model Color Acrylic for brush painting.

 

The results were wonderfull but alas this paint is very matt and I need a satin finish to match the nice scarlet red satin finish on my hull.

 

Can anybody advise me what to do? Does Vallejo make a transparent satin overcoat for brushing on? I've only seen something like that in their air brush paint sets.

 

This is the first time I have ever used acrylic paint on a plastic model. I only have experience with  Revell or Humbrol enamel.

 

At first I had painted the black part of my hull with some Revel SM 302 which was on the shelf too long but never opened. The results were horrible plus it coated poorly.

 

Of course my Revell scarlet red satin enamel looks beautiful on the bottom of my hull. 

 

Then after sanding her down as good as possible I bought some new Revell SM 302 it only reactivated the bad paint underneath plus also had weird problem with tiny bubbles! 

 

Then I really sanded it and sanded it more and repainted it with Vallejo Model Color which covered good and went on nice with a red wissel hair brush.

 

Thanks for your help in advance!
