Another "Klear" ("Future" to you North Americans)
disaster. A lot of people swear by it as a clear coat but I have had nothing
but trouble with it. Every time I spray it on the stuff beads up and looks
like crap when it dries. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of paint I put
it over or whether I thin the stuff or spray it straight out of the bottle.
I persevered with this one and ended up with a thick coat of Klear that
obscured most of the fine detail moulded in. I should have stripped it off
and started again with Gunze clear, my favourite clear coat, but I was lazy
and just wanted to get the thing done. The CF-18 looks okay - from a distance,
but except for dipping canopies I really am going to avoid Klear in future.
Oooh..... nice one Andy. |
