Best gloss clear coat
 
2 Attachment(s)
What is the best gloss clear coat out there for acrylics.
I tried the matte clear coat from krylon, it worked good, but I want my '75 vikings to be glossy.
Here is a figure that I tried Folk Art gloss brush on on.
It turned out a little lumpy when I was expecting it to smooth the paint out a little.
If there is a good spray for gloss out there please say.
If there isn't a great spray out there, then say a good brush on (gloss.)
or...
Is there anyway I can smooth out what the clearcoat did, or fix my figure?

as I have stated here before and the only ones that I use are MicroScale Gloss and Flat.

Small container- but goes a long way. Available at hobby shops.

Acrylic - will not yellow.

That stuff works like magic, I hear cats talking about setting decals, then putting sol something on, this stuff here works perfect, 1 shot does everything.

Gloss Exterior/Interior Varnish by Delta Ceramcoat.

Brush it on in a good amount - dries to a great gloss that brings out the colors in a figure and is especially effective if you use acrylic paints.

Is it possible to end up putting to much of this on, and those parts of the figure will turn grey, that happened with the folkart stuff.

It goes on thin
 
I usually put on 2 coats. I would not think you need more.
