FinnAndersen Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Having done the CA-15 Prototype in high gloss aluminium, I find that I'd like to give it a gloss coat to protect the Alclad paint, which I find to be not as durable as wished. /Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I can never get Alclad the way I want it, but applying a clear cote will reduce the shine from experience. I found Alclad aluminium with a gloss cote was virtually identical to the citadel chain mail silver straight out of an airbrush which was much more durable (all in the same build - academy b29 Washington on here somewhere!)

janneman36 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hello Finn if i am correct you should use Alclad Aqua Gloss alc-600 for the high polished colors... You can use it on other paints then Alclad as well... Cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilh Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Agree with that - the Aqua Gloss from their own range is high gloss and I do not feel effects the metallic effect of the paint. Their semi gloss (semi matt cote) does also look quite good for " scale effect" of NMF for in service type of aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
