                        Hi gang!

                         

                        I've heard of people adding clear gloss to their flat paints to give them a bit of a sheen.  Can the same thing be done with Testor's MM paints?

                         

                        Thank you!!!

                        I believe so.  Just make sure you are using Testors Laquer Gloss Coat.  Mix a little and try it on some scrap plastic.

                        Thank you Jesse.  I wasn't sure if there would be a problem with one being "laquer" and the other being "enamel".  You're right.  I'll give it a try on a scrap piece of plastic first and see what happens.

                        Make sure you use acrylic gloss with acrylic paintThumbs Up [tup]
