Yes... you can apply the gloss over the dull coat

 

[Rahmier84]

So if you paint gloss over dull coated or matte eyes they'll still look glassy?

Yep...I do it all the time

 

[xmkbee]

Just an acrylic gloss top coat?

Pledge futures floor polish

Ok, question. What if I don't seal it? Will my acrylics hold up, or fade, or chip? Sorry newby painter here.

All of the above if not sealed.

 

[xmkbee]

Alright then, sealer it is. Thanks

 

[xmkbee]

Do you agree, testors dullcote

 

[Rogerbee]

Yes, it works well. If you have trouble finding it then Army Painter Anti Shine Matt Varnish works just as well.

A note on the dull coat... for the best results with it you need to warm it up... Get a pan of water.. bring to a slight boil.. then TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE (obviously).. put the can in the hot water for a few so it will heat up the dull coat.. applies more evenly..

So the rattle can dullcote is a no-no?

Boiling water is not the way to go. It's really easy to make a rattle can swell and **** up the pressure if the water is too hot. It really shouldn't be any hotter than tap water from the sink.

I would absolutely NOT trust an aerosol can with any form of heat. A moment's distraction and something major could happen.
I found that the distance you spray from affects the finish, it's best sprayed with the can held near your body and whatever you're spraying held at arm's length.

Here's my newly customized Raiders Indy. Head is Inigou. Outfit is Yunsil. Whip is MFisher. Bag and Shoes are Hot Toys.

Excellent work. Combination of the best.

 

[Rogerbee]

Very nicely done! I've settled on a similar pose for mine. It saves you forking out for a gun when you don't already have one. Which hands did you use? I think mine are from the Enterbay Leon.

Thanks! The body and hands are from the DX05.

 

[Rogerbee]

Hmm, so the hands are useful, cool.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Looks great, bmarz! Love the dio he's on too!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Excellent display, bmarz! Where is that dio base from?
