Re: clear coat question

Im probably the newest guy on these forums and have 0 experience.. but heres what i found while i was reading some tips/tricks.

Quote:
I'll finish up this installment with one important note about Tamiya's lacquer paint. If you choose to apply Tamiya's clear gloss (no. TS-13) over a Tamiya color finish, you'll need to be careful when you apply it. You have two choices: you can add the clear coat immediately after applying the last wet color coat, or you can apply the clear coat after the color coat has cured and gassed out for at least a month. Tamiya's clear gloss paint cures at a different rate than the color paints in the line. If you wait even a day to apply the clear gloss, the different curing rates will cause the clear finish to crack.

Its the second last paragraph. Like i said i have 0 experience though.

Good Luck
