demonborger Posted October 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2013 Hey, does anyone use a matt finish spray over a varnish to remove the gloss/shine and make dull?Any ideas about how to use it properly and how it could go wrong etc. Quote Kits owned: Mamoli Royal Louis, Mamoli Friesland, Mamoli HMS Victory 1:90, Occre Santisima Trinidad, Constructo HMS Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanh Posted October 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2013 I have used a matt varning and airbrused it over gloss to take abway the shine works fine and only needs a very light coat. I did this on my Arizona turrets over the red which just didnt look right in gloss. Norman Quote Norman Current build Trumpeter Arizona 1:200 with White Ensign PE and a Nautilus Wooden Deck.

augie Posted October 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2013 I've used 'dullcoat' (acrylic flat lacquer) over WOP as well as acrylic paint to bring down the shine. I use Model Master from Testors and brush it on. I understand it's also available in an aerosol but I haven't tried that.
