Will airbrushed Testors Laquer Clears protect my enamel basecoat from enamel finishing products such as Mig and AK washes,filters,and streaking ?
bump
I’m not entirely sure Tojo, but I recall chuckw haveing an issue on his Ju-388 build i think it was? He used Testor’s gloss coat and dullcoat and his oil washes and filters ate through it, even though it is a lacquer product, the oil/enamels still reacted with it.
Thanks Nathan,I been asking on diffrent places and opinion is split,so.im going to use the Vallejo Clears to play it safe.
FWIW…I use MM enamels (exclusively)…I gloss with Minwax clear gloss lacquer (Testors clears are also lacquer). The only time I’ve ran into a problem is if I sprayed the gloss on too thick (it will wrinkle the paint). To get around this, I spray a couple mist coats, giving a few minutes to dry, then spray a heavier coat, to get a good gloss. Being solvent based, I use waterbased washes (home made from cheap craft store paint). Testors dull coat to finish it off.
