                        Does Testors/Model Master make a product that acts as a "clear coat" or final coat -- to give the model a shine to it?? I've used a metallic paint and it just doesn't have the brillance I thought it would. Is this a job for Future?

                        Thanks!

                        They make clear but I don't know what that'd do to metalics. they usually tell you clear and metalic don't mix. You could try rubbing(buffing) if even if it's not the buffable. Might help.

                        Testors Clear enamel should work fine, I have used it over many metallic paint jobs with good luck.

                        I did a model of tamia's Ford Sierra, I sprayed it with a 2 pac clear & it came out really glossy. this was done last year & it hasnt harmed the decals or paint in any way.

                        - One thing though is you cant paint over clear parts or they will go frosted
