ChuckT Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Has anyone done this? Just wondering if it would transform a normally satin finish to more of a gloss I’m looking for. I know I can spray a clear gloss over the satin gunze to get to the same destination, but if I can add some gloss to the paint when I add the thinner to airbrush, it would save me some time for a particular technique (simulating wood grain) I’m trying to figure out. Thanks in advance, Chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale32 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Chuck, may work but may also make the paint more translucent. Not sure about the ratio you'd be using to achieve this. Let us know how you go. Cheers Bevan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I certainly do this regularly enough Tamiya's flat acrylic paints, and it works well at eliminating that chalky feel they have straight out of the jar. I've never done it with Gunze's acrylic paints, though, as they're already satin or gloss. I'd just give it a go and see how you fare. Make sure to report back!

matto21 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I did this on my recent P-40 build. I added Gunze Aqueous Clear to the Aqueous colours and it worked fine. Didn't make them super glossy, but good enough for decals. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckT Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Got it. I'll do some tests and see what I come up with. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
