Deadman Disciple Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I popped into halfords on my home from work today to pick up some grey acrylic primer & noticed the clear lacquer on the same shelf. In some of the build topics, some of you have mentioned using it to seal your models. I have a couple of questions..... How does it go down, once sprayed on? Whats the drying time? Does it actually dry clear & whats the finish like? Is it safe to spray directly onto decals? Ive used clear sprays in the past like Citadel Purity Seal & Plastikote with mainly dusty white results. Citadel Purity Seal was ok for my Moebius TOS Battlestar Galactica & my Revell USS Voyager, as they were light in colour. But on models where ive painted black or dark coloured decals, it again dried with a white misty finish. Cheers in advance, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I use it if I want a really glossy finish, and it does that job really well. I often use it to gloss up matt paint to help the decaling stage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Excellent gloss finish. As always avoid a heavy coat or it will run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder17 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Does it go over Tamiya paints OK without reacting? I must admit i have never tried it ove norman paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The clear lacquer does not like Xtracrylix, I can tell you that. I've used it over Vallejo Model Color OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 No issues with Tamiya or Gunze Sanyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
