What exactly is "CLEAR COAT" is it the brand or the product..........
Is it the same as Gunze's TOP COAT ?
What is the best laquer for metalics when using Tamiya TS & Testors spray paints.
Ive just sprayed a car with Duplicolor metalic purple & noticed it was Acrylic, can i use the same laquer as i would with Tamiya TS paints.

Would really appreciate some answers here beacause i usually "fuck up" on the laquering as i dont know what laquer to use on what paint.

Cheers, Mike.

"Clear coat" just refers to a coat (layer(s)) of paint withour any pigment - clear.

I suggest using Duplicolor clear for Duplicolor base paint.

The clear makes it shinny:sunglasse , and protects the basecoat, or color part of the paint.
