LOVE it..................!!!!!!!
Do you guys think september release EB will solve glossy cowl problem?
Ha ha, was thinking of the same song.
Thag song was honestly just finishing on the radio when I read this post. Ha ha.
Those gauntlets bother me way more than the cowl.
Rory, if you have time could you post a tutorial on how you modified your gauntlets? Yours have just the right gloss.
I'd like to know how many steps there were in your process and what productyou used.
Thanks.
I used this (but I would imagine any satin acrylic will do):
To be clear, the only reason for sanding is to remove the plastic flashing seams right?
I mean, the varnish holds without sanding, right?
Not sure what you mean?, it's Windsor & Newton, pretty famous paint/art suppliers.The galeria?
No problem Mags. First I sanded them with very fine paper. The plastic they're made from is actually pretty workable. I got rid of any plastic flashing, seams. Did a complete thorough dust off then applied two coats of "satin Acrylic varnish" not gloss. Be sure to wait until the first coat is completely dry before putting on the second. I used a wide flat brush, using only a tiny amount of varnish as I went (it's very watery). I found this to be superior to spraying because the varnish doesn't leave any brush strokes and is quite controllable.
SANDING IS ESSENTIAL!
