    Honestly I think the Tamiya clears in the small rattle cans are the best for models. I do model trains and like to paint and decal my own equipment. For the longest time I used clears meant for an airbrush since I airbrush the paints on them. The rattle cans are easier and faster and can give just as good results without having to clean the airbrush. I've tried them all, the krylon gloss works pretty good for the coat before decals. The Tamiya clears are just superior, namely the flat. You don't need much at all. The great thing about the Tamiya flat is that after the decals are done, and I wash and dry the models, the flat just needs one very light coat. You use barely any to cover the models (HO scale). That one coat covers ALL decal film and they literally look painted on.
    If you are doing model cars and whatnot that you are going to wet-sand and polish then the Krylon or Rustoleum would be the best as far as price vs. amount you get. Especially since you are going to be doing a few coats and somewhat heavy.
    Great video!

    As far as I know, the matte enamels from Rustoleum are not plastic safe, and it has that big "stops rust" on the can. Rustoleum makes clear coats for plastics. I haven't used it yet, but they have a universal clear dead flat that has uv protection and is rated for plastic. It has three solvents in it. Acetone, Toluene, Xylene. It is no wonder it melted the plastics.

    A comparison to Rustoleum’s 2X clear would be interesting . Maybe the color wouldn’t craze and it would work with acrylics

  • @thesetruths1404
    @thesetruths1404 2 года назад +2

    Thanks. Couple of questions:
    How long do you allow the color coats to dry before coats of your Clears? Rustoleum company specialists say to wait only 10 to 15 minutes between each coat of any product...but their canned sprays do NOT advise this. It's very annoying.
    2. Have you tested or used Rustoleum's Universal Gloss Clear Hammered spray by chance?
    I recently sprayed 3 car body panels with Rustoleum Navy Blue Gloss Enamel (2 coats over 1-coat Gloss Blue paint+primer) and let dry for 40 minutes from last coat. Then I applied the Clear Enamel. First coat was very light, No blistering. Waited 30 minutes, 2nd coat, a little wrinkle in 4 places. Waited 9 hours, 3rd coat...it got worse! 4th coat 30 minutes later...even worse. 😆 Ruined my perfect rattle can spray job...it had zero runs or drips. Now I will have to wet sand all 3 car panels and apply something else to cover up the fail. I'm curious if the Clear Hammered product would help cover this and some body defects by reflecting light differently, as it does. If so, I'd use it on the whole car, as it has little chips and gouges here and there...27 year old work car.
    I called the company, they said ALL layers of paint must be applied within 1 hour from start time, or the user must wait 48+ hours to start the 1 hour application window again. Their cans don't describe the 1 hour criteria like their agents do though. Bad written directions.
    Thanks again. Feel free anybody to chime in.

    Krylon is honestly the best that you can get if you are going to use a can at all. The quality and price is simply unmatched. It’s sold everywhere. There isn’t a “hobby” surcharge like Tamiya, or Testors, or GSI Creos, or any other specialty paint. It’s artist quality and made for all surfaces.

  • @karmasurge4842
    @karmasurge4842 Год назад +1

    The reason you had paint blisters and reaction is because you need to apply the first and second coat with a light misc spray. Let it dry 15 mins in between each light coat. After you can spray thick coats as many as you want. all good products you just have to know how to properly use them

    You'll find most outdoor model railroaders use Krylon, 1- size of can, 2- size of our models. I use Krylon flat, UV resistant. FYI: sunlight will cause the lacquer to yellow, that stands out over white. I use Krylon on plastic & wood (painted & bare) buildings. Krylon also has a version formulated for plastics. That is the Fusion line of paints. They are meant for plastic outdoor furniture & planters. I have used Fusion paint on plastic boxcars & the clear on top of paint, no problems. Large cans are not marketed for modeling, spray is heavier & a larger volume. My experience with Rust-Oleum paints are they seem to dry "soft", I can dig my finger nail into the coat.
    Krylon make clear acrylic sprays (slightly smaller cans) used on paintings. These clears are also recommended for use on decals printed on a home printer to affix the ink to the paper for water dipping by decal paper manufacturer. I have used these on old decals to prevent splitting with success..

    I just bought a can of that Krylon Clear Gloss Sealer today from Lowes. See i have a Mini Bike with metal frame, fenders and gas tank that i am currently in the process of taking off all the old paint down to bare metal and want to give it a nice new paint job so it looks new again. I'm just afraid that after i lay down all the paint and go to use the clear gloss sealer on it it might turn all that new paint into a bunch of crackles and then i'll really be pissed lol. Do you think i can trust the Krylon Clear Gloss Sealer to do the job right or should i just find a more expensive automotive paint sealer online to play it safe ? I want the final paint job to come out looking nice and glossy slick like a new cars paint job ya know what i mean.

    I too had adverse reactions with a few brands I tried and not only that it just seems to be wasting product going through a spray can. I would rather just use the airbrush where I have more control and can regulate how much is coming out. Might be worth doing a test to compare how far a can will go compared to say a bottle of Alclad. I would put my money on the Alclad every time and feel even though its more expensive it will go a whole lot further than these cans, and you wont waste as much (over spray) which we know does not need to be tested.

    I've tried those clear "household" coatings, myself. My opinion is, they aren't worth the trouble or the risk. You can't tell in advance when, where, or if you'll get a reaction. Another thing, when they DO work; it is only on larger models. For very small models and the smaller scales, they are too "coarse" to really get into smaller details. Even with a very light finger, on the smaller scales; the details tend to get filled in with the clear. I've ruined enough models trying to make it work that I just don't even make an attempt anymore. But, your videos are a good resource for those who wish to try.

    Rustoleum is generally better for metal not really plastic. Since it is an enamel base it is more durable. For plastic models the krylon is better, but for someone like me who is into metal lightsabers and who does weathering on them I generally go with rustoleum because my experience with the krylon is that is starts chipping after a while and doesn't look that great.

    You did not test Rust-oleum Painters touch 2 X , that is what I use and have gotten better results with both the Matte and Gloss clears. I did use the Rust-oleum you tested and it worked OK but the 2 X works better. I will try the Krylon when I run out of what I have just to see but it is hard to mess with success. Do you plan a test with alcohol base inks? I know you did a test with acrylic inks just wondering if they apply the same.

First figure I've done so far I tried using army painter matte clear coat but it came out really hard and ended up putting way too much on. I tried using a brush on Vallejo matte coat wouldn't harden. And I tried mod podge cause I was desperate and had plenty. It mostly hardened but was still tacky where the Vallejo was tacky.
    Based on all that would you recommend the matte krylon you used? Or is there something else that could be better? I'm a lil hesitant on spray cans cause the army painter came out so fast it caught me off guard.
