AK Varnish spray can

[fatalsky]

Hello,

 

My Lancaster project is coming closer to an end which leaves me with the varnish before the decals.

I've tried out the AK interactive semi gloss spray can on a model but I find it really glossy and it looks a bit like an orange peel effect to me?

Not Sure if the link works to my photos?

Am I doing something wrong like spraying too thick or too close or too far away? (Temperature outside is around 25 ⁰C)

I don't have the matt varnish spray can yet but would it fix things?

 

Greetings,

V.

if I want to use pledge, is the pledge clean it okay or it has to be pledge revive it (I live in Belgium)

Don't have a Pinterest account so can't really see, but generally orange peel is a result of too heavy a coat. Multiple very light sprays are better than a heavy spray.

 

A matt coat won't remove orange peel, but it will remove the shine.

 

You might try a very gently sanding with 3000 grade paper, but of course there will be a risk of damaging the underlying paint. 

 

The correct Pledge is 'Revive It'

 

Cheers
