Dullcote Question

[Kyle]

I searched the database for articles on dullcote, just to make sure I wasn't asking a redundant question:

I like the effect of Testor's spray-on DullCote. However, will it protect my figure, or is it just a matte layering, but not a "finish" (protecting agent)? If I use 2-3 coats, will that keep my little guys' paint jobs secure and pristine (barring any overhandling on my part - or the part of my two-year-old daughter who likes to climb up my lighted book case!).

Thanks for any direction....

Hey Kyle, dullcote will definitely protect your figure, one coat should be enough

I apply one coat of this on my wargaming figures because the get handled so much. Really keeps them in great shape.

I bought a can of dullcoat and when applied it appears glossy. Why is this?

 

[Roc]

What I usually do before I apply the dullcoat is to apply a little heat to the figure, this will prevent any gloss.

Cheers
Roc.

I used dullcote with a gloss result, and found it was because I didn't shake the can enough before using.
