scand Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 There was a thread a couple of months ago. Where the person used several layers of clear coat in critical areas. It was a low-viz custom 1/60. I don't recommend clear coat outta the can I keep getting poor results. My last project yellowed pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scand Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 (edited) Heres the link: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=2308&hl= Unggh! My questions went unanswered in that thread. You still might get some use out of it though. Edited March 6, 2004 by scand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Unggh! My questions went unanswered in that thread. You still might get some use out of it though. I think Future (floor wax) is a good protectant. I've brushed some on a 1/55 tail section and tried to scratch the paint with my finger nail; it's seems pretty durable and is recommended by a couple of the customizers on here. If you don't like the glossy look the Future gives the parts, a dull coat can be applied over it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
