Krylon Low Odor Clear Matte finish

I haven't used that particular brand but I have used a clear Matte Acrylic Sealer before.  I used a generic brand that I picked up in an A.C.Moore store.  The brand is "Plaid" and it came in a 12oz. spray can for a reasonable price. It was about 3 or 4 years ago so I don't remember what the price was(that's what happens to old farts like me, it's called "CRS" can't remember s**t).  I put it over a gloss white enamel paint job on a Mig-3 that I built with no problem.  It dulled down the gloss just enough to make it look good.  The plane took a 3rd place at the next show I took it to.  I've also used it on a few of my 1/72 aircraft that were painted with Vallejo acrylics with no problems.  It feels like I still have about 1/2 can left so whatever the price, I think that it was worth it.  I have a couple cans of Dullcote around somewhere that I picked up at a show for a decent price but I haven't used them yet.

I'd say to buy a can of the Matte Sealer, paint a few spare parts with various paints and try the sealer on them and see how they look.  "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" right?

Hope that this info helps.

interested to hear the results

i use ACE NOW gray and black primer and it works great. have airbrushed acrylic Tamiya, MMA, Vallejo, Vallejo Air, PolyS and silly puttyed masked with no problems.

I have....seems to work fine.

I use a lot of various Krylon products, but have not tried the low-odor stuff. I have used both their gloss and flat clears.  I still prefer the Testors glosscoat because the nozzle seems to be finer, the Krylon really is more like a fire hose.  Love Krylon primer, and the flat clear is okay.

Don,

I recently purchased and used that low odor Krylon Matte. Its just my subjective opinion but I dont believe its as dull as Testors Dullcoat. I've tried every dull/matte coat out there and I still haven't found anything that's equals the Testors. Could be I'm just biased.

I'm not saying its bad, just not the equal of Testors.

Yeah, I have used several glosscoats, and still do, but for dullcoat I stick with Testors.

I have used a couple of clear urethane matt coats and they are close to Testors.  I do like polyurethane semi-gloss- there are are several brands I have used successfully.  I find those particularly nice to thin and airbrush.

For matte finish, I pretty much only use Krylon Artists Matte Finish.  Never had it affect the paint or decals and its so easy to use.  I have not tried or even seen the low odor stuff.
