About product

The last coat, which unifies the surface

A matte overcoat rids a model of the uneven reflections that arise where paints with different levels of sheen meet on one fuselage. At the same time it hides the edges of decal carrier film, which on a smooth base show through as a light rectangle around every marking. You reach for it at the moment the paints and decals are dry and the model is waiting for weathering with washes or pigments.

A water base instead of a lacquer one

The binder is built on an acrylic dissolved in water, which means far gentler behavior toward whatever lies underneath. Nitrocellulose clear coats can lift a thin layer of the base or eat into a decal; here that risk drops markedly. The coat stays thin and does not clog fine engraving or riveting.

How it is sprayed

  • Shake the can for at least a minute so the matting agent is mixed in
  • Keep a distance of around twenty centimeters and start the pass off the model
  • Three light passes with a break are better than one generous one
  • Let the decals dry for a whole day before overcoating

What to watch out for

In damp weather the surface can turn white, because atmospheric moisture is trapped in the coat. Working in a dry room and warming the can in warm water will help. The degree of matting also changes with the thickness of the coat, so try the depth on a sprue offcut first. When the work is finished, turn the can upside down and press the valve briefly until only clear gas comes out — the nozzle then stays clear.

FAQ

Only once the paints and decals are dry. A day's interval is recommended so that moisture from the decal water is not trapped under the coat.

The binder is water-thinnable and behaves more gently than clear coats based on lacquer solvents. Even so, the rule of thin coats applies.

Typically high humidity or too heavy a coat is to blame. A light pass in a dry environment usually suppresses the white veil.

Yes, a flat surface holds a wash well in the engraving and the thinner soaks into it less than into bare paint.
