Default I bet he learned a lesson.

I got a couple like that too.I use straight acryllics paints on all my stuff.I then use a clear coat by krylon to protect the decals.when done I hit it w/dull coat 2x's lightly.I then gloss the helmet to shine it up.One thing about the dull coat,if you use too much,it can give the opposite look of a shine.You also have to be careful not to get that cloudy look to your figs when spraying it.I think temperature has alot to do with that also.For MF figs,I use all brush on coats,sealers.Francis turned me onto those.You can spray them,but I feel you do not get as much control of it.I stayed with using Acryllics on my MF figs because I have a ton of paints from doing Mcfarlanes and I find them to work well for me.I thin them with water and clean with water.I am surprised more coaches on here do not do custom Mcfarlanes also.Great crossover and they could be called mineratures also.If anyone wants learn,I can help--STT
