Testors Dullcoat

[Rob Colvin]

I was applying good ole Testors dullcoat to a nearly completed p-40 and for whatever reason it dried very glossy. I am not sure what I did different?  I thinned it about the same, perhaps I put it on too thick? i will have to dullcoat some additional parts for completion so I will have another go. And yes, I am sure it was dullcoat lol.

Is it possible that it was not mixed well?

Which thinner was used? Mr. Hobby leveling thinner will give a satin finish.

FW190 is correct. Lacquer matt varnishes need a regular or even rapid dry lacquer thinner to obtain the matt finish you're aiming to accomplish. Found this out a. number of years ago.
