Polyscale Flat Problems

I am not a stalker following you around

I just noticed you popped over here too.  You should get others chiming in here too.  Other with more experince with the Polly flat.  So we can let the other 2 threads die peacefully and I iwll get anyone else the pops in all caught up with this...

Hey there me again Ya know the funny thing is I never really read your post over in A/C.  Saw the word armor and figured it was ... well... armor.  This really should go in the Paint section.  But I am not gonna make go there too.  I have used Polly exactly 3 time.  Lots of folks love it since it is dead flat and that's what I was looking for.  First time it was good. Happy with the results.  So I used it again and like oyu got a little carried away with a heavy coat and got that murky finish you described.  The 3rd time I used over black and intentionally did a heavy coat so I would get that whitish look. A 50/50 thinning should be OK.  I think this is an issue of how heavy the coat is.  I have gone back to using Testors dullcoat.  I pour off a little bit of the carrier while it is settled out and get it very flat.  But that too will get some white if I pour off thoo much .   Oh yeah and BTW   WELCOME

As far what to have done, not 100% sure .  I do know more of the flat wo'nt change what's there.  I would have tried a coat of Future.  As far as the
incocsistent" paint job now... can you re-weather it a bit heavier maybe to slavage the build?

Did you mix the PS well before you sprayed it?

I use the same mix you do, about 50/50 but I use Windex as a thinnerbv. The only time I've ever had a problem like what you mention is when I forgot to stir up the PS. My eyedropper sucked up pure flat media. When I sprayed it I got something resembling snow. Oops. That's when I remembered to stir the stuff up before rationing it out.
