Drew is right.

Keep the airbrush farther away and spray some "dust coats" of dullcoat on it.

After that dries you can spray a little heavier as the dullcoat you dusted on will protect the enamel.

With the high-quality acrylic flats out there I see no reason to use Dullcoat lacquer anymore personally.

Drew, thanks for the reassurance.  I think I'll let the acrylic cure for 48 hours before applying dullcoat though.

Thank you,

Dave

If the acrylic is completely cured, Yup! No problemBig Smile [:D] Just use light coats and build up the dullness slowly. Do it lots.
Take this plastic and model it!

Is it ok to spray lacquer dullcoat on acrylic paint that has dried?

Thanks,

Dave
