Satin Clear Coat?

Just finished painting with TS-9 British Green, and I'd like to put a satin clear finish on it. Any ideas on what clear would work?

Thanks,
Trevor

Tamiya makes a semi gloss clear in a spray can #TS79 plus a matt #TS80

I've been using Alclads' klear Kote range which comes in a variety of sheens.

The Alclad clear cote semi-matte goes fantastic.

Re: Satin Clear Coat?

I have used alclad on two of my kits and was not happy with the results, so I would say NO. After it dries it remains sticky in spots. I used it over decals, acrilycs and laquer and all have the same outcome. Now I use an acrilyc clear when looking for a mat/flat look
