 This is what happens when just a little dullcoat comes into contact with clear parts.

 thought I could get by without masking, just hit a few spots with the dullcoat. WRONG! Had to scratchbuild a new windshield. I learned a lesson and Hopefully This Helps.

 Best Regards,

I agree with Phil_H on this one.....NEVER spray over any clear plastic canopies, or windshields.....unless your going for the frosted look !

Yep, mask it off. Don't spray glosscoat over the canopy. The same applies for the flat coat afterwards, unless you want your canopy to look like frosted glass...

Glosscoat question

ok, I am ready to apply glosscoat to my A-10 for decaling.  Do I apply the glosscoat over the canopy as well, or do I avoid spraying the canopy?
