Fortunately, my friend didn't seem to mind, but I'm a little peeved this would happen. Can you recommend any good sprays/paints to make a model more flat instead of glossy?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521528/5516097.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521528/5516097.page GMT Re:Giving minis a Flat Finish

Agreed. I started using it in my scale modeling days over 20 years ago, and still use it on all my minis.

A second vote for Testors Dullcote. Just be aware it will take the gloss off any metallics, but you can always get a brush-on gloss varnish and go over those parts.


A bit of a note on that...you can use it intentionally. I painted all my Cygnar stuff in a base coat of bronze. The dullcote makes them look painted bronze, as opposed to the natural finish which made them look like they were made of bronze.

Personally, I use Testors Dullcote and absolutely love the finish (have yet to have any issues with frosting or unexpected glossiness, either). Even without the added bonus of enhanced durability (it's a very resilient lacquer), the look more than justifies the somewhat more potent fumes and longer dry time, in my opinion. It's a tad pricier than the big cans of gloss spray, so I still use those to do the heavy lifting, but I always finish with Dullcote to get the finish I want.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521528/5517587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521528/5517587.page GMT
