It provides a clear, glossy protective finish that enhances colour depth, improves the appearance of painted surfaces and helps protect your model from handling. Why should I apply a gloss coat before decals? A smooth gloss finish reduces the chance of silvering beneath decals and provides an ideal surface for decal application and panel line washes. Can it be used before weathering? Yes. Applying a gloss coat before using panel accent colours or enamel washes helps protect the underlying paint and allows excess wash to be cleaned away more easily. Can I apply it with a brush? Yes. It can be carefully brush applied, or thinned appropriately for airbrush application to achieve an even, smooth finish. Can it be used over all paint types? It is suitable over fully cured hobby paints. Always test compatibility on a spare piece or hidden area before applying over unfamiliar paint systems. Important Notes Apply only over fully cured paint. Apply multiple light coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying additional coats. Test compatibility before applying over unfamiliar paints or finishes. Clean brushes and airbrush equipment immediately after use using the appropriate thinner. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children and follow all safety instructions on the packaging.
