Matt Clear Coat issue - Help!
Posted by wadams on Sunday, July 7, 2019 10:06 AM

Hi Finescale Modellers

Not sure this is the right forum but here it goes. I sprayed my Karl Gerat with Matt Clear coat finish over Vallejo paint and this is what I got.   Any Ideas??

Sorry, but i can't see your picture. I'm guessing there's a white film developing?

Major white film. Sprayed other models with the same finish from the same can and had no problem. Looks like it had a major snow storm.

Sometimes spraying it again removes the frosting, weird , I know, but it usually works.

Thanks I will try that. 

I am also trying to figure out how to post pics to these forums from Flickr so they can be seen. They come up on my laptop but not my mobile phone.

I can’t  see anything so I can’t comment. Try posting the pictures again over on the paint section.

What brand of clear did you spray over the Vallejo?

Sorry you couldn't see the pic. I have reposted this in the armor forum. The clear Matt spray I use is Valspar. I have used it on all my models and have yet to have this problem. Check out this same post in armor. Thanks for letting me know about the photo issue.

Had something similar happen.  Really need to shake the the crap out of flat before use.

Thanks,
