Jason,
I also had the same results with the MM Flat coat.
I use Purity Seal from Games Workshop.
It comes in a spray can and just spray it directly to your model and done.
No problems at all.
It gives a very fine satin finish.

@Marco,
ok.
I think that I liked the Alclad without the black paint underneath more because it was more realistic.

Hi Michel, very interesting. I will do this test also  ! I have, but with not as much luck. To be honest, I've never seemed to have much luck with flat coats, no matter what the make or whether it's acrylic or otherwise. It either splatters, goes on semi-gloss, or goes on so flat it gives a chalky appearance to the paint. I'd like to hear if someone has a good non-acrylic flat coat they can recommend. I actually have three models I'm at the stage of applying the flat coat (a VVS P-47D, a LaGG-3, and a VVS P-39Q). I'll let you know if I find a flat coat that works.
Regards,
Jason
Hi Jason, Thanks for your reply on MM Metallizer, I will do tests with it also. About your question on flat coat (you mean clear coats, right?), I love both Humbrol (not acrylic), clear, satin and matt. I never had problem with they and I still use they. With acrylic ones I had bad results like yours, with chalky appearenca too...  . If you can try Humbrol. Ciao. Marco |

Hi Jason. FWIW, over the last couple of years (since Testors screwed up Polly Scale Flat, which had been far and away my favorite), I've been using Micro Flat from Microscale. It's easy to apply and dries with no trace of chalking. Only problem is, it's not really flat -- it's really a satin finish with a definite, subtle sheen, actually very good IMHO for weathered gloss finishes. I used it straight up for the I-16 in AII green/blue that I'm just completing. If I want a real flat finish, I add a SMALL amount of Tamiya flat base -- perhaps 1-to-2 with the Micro Flat. There's still very little, if any, chalking, just a nice, dead flat. HTH Pip |

Hi Massimo, thanks for your reply and appreciation. All the sides are silver because the wood was painted with a silver primer. I suggest one with a granulous look, it hasn't to reproduce unpainted metal.
I would try Humbrol enamel for this reason, I think it is sligtly thick then the others. Obiovusly I will try MM Metallizer and Alclad for better comparison. I think that I will follow your suggestion and I will paint the armour plate in A-14 grey. About the seat next time I will post a photo to know your opinion. Ciao. Marco |

Hi guys,
for A-14 grey (FS26293 or 36293) anybody could tell me an equivalent color like Humbrol, Gunze, etc...
Thanks!

Marco, I use Testors Model Master Neutral Gray for A-14 Steel Grey. It seems to be a good match.

Jason

Could be the MM 1725 Neutral Grey? Marco |
