DMK OP Plan B: Gloss Spray, but Tamiya only has Semi-gloss?!

Postby SKYWARPED_128 » Wed Aug 03, 2011 10:26 pm

Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
Ditched the wax idea, and am switching to more conventional means to give OP's armor/kibble that movie CG bling.

Tamiya paints are by far the easiest for me to get my hands on, but strangely the line does [b]NOT[/b] carry gloss clear spray! Only flat or semi-gloss! WTF?!

They do have something called X-22 clear which comes in a bottle that's supposed to be either used with an airbrush or hand-painted. I'm not sure if that's glossy enough for my needs.

My non-Tamiya options are pretty limited here, as I can only find Krylon clear or Pylox 128 gloss clear spray over here.

Any advice on which of the three I should use?

Whaddayaknow? Tamiya's TS 13 IS gloss!

The stupid color chart never mentioned it, but after spending hours lurking modeling forums, the comments led me to the conclusion that the clear spray in fact has a glossy finish.

Why ca't those idiots who made the chart simply add "clear gloss" to the description of the TS 13 spray?!

Anyways, thanks for reading.
