I'm about to reach the clear coat stage too, except I'm gonna be clearcoating over Tamiya Gloss Aluminum (which isn't very glossy btw...) in fact, the gloss aluminum is a tad rough in texture... definitely needs sanding and such. I saw Alclad II aluminum at a hobby store for $10.99.... WAY too expensive for so little of the stuff... the $7.50 spray can will last me a good 2 models or so
Now, here's my question. What does everyone use for the gloss coat? I don't think it would be wise to invest in Tamiya polishing wax and compound given my limited budget, so what do you all use? Future Floor Polish? Testors Glosscote? I've heard Future yellows in time, and so too does Testors. Is there any way to avoid yellowing?
