Great comparison! I’ve never quite seen spray paints applied like that. It’s always best not to stop and start on the actual thing you’re painting to avoid speckling and spluttering from the aerosol can. Nice smooth sweeping motions stopping and starting when the can is not over the figure is the recommended
Just a reminder, dont spray on a rainy or cold weather, the figure might get the so called "frosting" it'll destroy the figure and it can't hardly be undone.
Feel wise tamiya is smoother but I just usually go for Mr Hobby Mr super clear flat uv but I haven't tried Mr hobby premium topcoat but as much these topcoats are nice I still highly recommend Mr Hobby Mr super clear flat uv cut.
Please do a long term review as well. I noticed the matte top coats sometimes turn shiny over time especially on softer plastics like marvel legends and some of the softer shf parts that are flexible.
I applied the Mr. Hobby Premium Top Coat on my SH Figuarts Awakening Goku's face plate and It seems to have made the plastic get a strong sheen to it. It doesn't look matte at all. Did I apply too strong a coat or does it just need time to dry?
When I bought any figs, it was normal, but later on my nose and body, these green stains kept appearing and I couldn't wipe them off.Do u have solutions 😢
Hello I have question my scale figure matte top coat its gone and it very small area that have problem I want to fix it but I found only can spray so can I spray it on q-tip first then sweep it at the place I want to fix? or its there other option?
Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I used Krylon Matte Finish-extremely cheap and accessible in the US/carried at Walmart-and found it to be really comparable to these just using an extra coat or two.
Is there a specific type of paint that Tamiya TS80 might not go well with and ruin the paint? I've got a bootleg figure. It's good an all. I just want to make it look better with a matte finish. Thanks.
I know it's been 2 Yeats lol, but the premium topcoat from Mr. Hobby is an acrylic and the Tamiya is a lacquer. Be careful using lacquers because they are very caustic and will melt and peel lots of paints.
Hey, I know I’m kinda late to this video but I got a big question. I’m new to the collecting business and I collect SH Figuarts Dragon Ball toys. Both matte finishes look amazing, but I don’t display my figures, I make stop motion animations. So I wanted to ask if, since you have to pose the figure over and over again, if that might rub the matte off.
does this work on softer plastic? I want to top coat the BOTW Link figure from Jakks, but some parts like the hair and the tunic have soft plastic parts
Hey DSTAR do you recommend these for custom repaints a person has done on marvel legends, etc? I just repainted the dino thunder white from the lightning collection by hasbro and im looking for something to keep in the black and white really well on him. Thanks in advance and great vid!🙏🏼🔥
Tamiya wins due to price availability and it just looks more matte than mr.hobby unless you didn't spray thoroughly on FP goku otherwise clear winner is very noticeable
I've read that I need to use topcoat gloss before I do panel line using tamiya accent liner. Which of the two should I use if I'm just planning to panel line my gundam kits, without additional painting?
Tamiya accent color damages bandai plastic, you need to put a protective layer over the plastic. Gloss coat is best for panel lining since it allows paint flow. After you panel line you can go for any finish you want
@@gubabaclips How many coats of the gloss coat would you recommend applying before lining the panels? And should I wait for the gloss coat to dry before applying the panel liner, or immediately do it after I sprayed the gloss coat?
hey dstar i have a 2.0 cell saga vegeta that got ran over, its in great condition just some scratches and only the chest armor straps are actually broken, do you think you can fix it
I think the Tamiya actually looks better! Have you done any videos on adding joints to figures? like say a basic figure with no ankle then adding an ankle joint?
How are they with protecting the paint ? Any recommendations for keeping paint from scraping or rubbing off ? Looking for something for my custom figure
I’ve tried the Premium Topcoat Flat Matte finish on my Goku, but it seems like after it dries, the texture of the figure kinda a bit hard compared to the original texture. Is it normal?
@@kayakids5185 Mr Hobby and Tamiya are great spray cans but if you have the extra budget try looking for Mr Hobby Mr Super clear Flat UV cut it's bit pricey but definitely worth it.
So are these better than the Mr.Super Clear Flat stuff? I'm trying to get my super7 turtles stuff not so shiny so im ordering a solution and I didn't know if it made a big difference since these products all seem to do the same thing

Two coats of high gloss and reapply the matt to fix frost.
LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!
That Ryu Theme was perfect haha
Bro - Holy crap you'd made that Pac-Man look INCREDIBLE
Better to disassemble the figure then let dry in room temp. Best result is 2 coats of Mr. Hobby Premium Matte or Gloss.

Thank you Dexter, fantastic tutorial. Omg your "complaining fan" voice had me in STITCHES man 🤣👍
I didn't think it'd make a difference but I can see it now. Fantastic video. 👍
If you scratch normally, it won't really damage the figure, but if you dig your nail into it, it will damage the figure, right?
Pac-Man looks incredible with that finish
Best intro 🙅♂️🧢
hi, can u tell me how to undo the coat ? Because i think i have a not equally part , it looks like a crack coat ,
Wash it with water?
I applied the Mr. Hobby Premium Top Coat on my SH Figuarts Awakening Goku's face plate and It seems to have made the plastic get a strong sheen to it. It doesn't look matte at all. Did I apply too strong a coat or does it just need time to dry?
Depending on how much you put it will look wet. Give it time to dry and next time do a light coat

Hello I have question my scale figure matte top coat its gone and it very small area that have problem I want to fix it but I found only can spray so can I spray it on q-tip first then sweep it at the place I want to fix? or its there other option?
How long do I have to shake the can of the Mr Hobby Premium Top Coat flat before spraying?
Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I used Krylon Matte Finish-extremely cheap and accessible in the US/carried at Walmart-and found it to be really comparable to these just using an extra coat or two.
vs rustoleum?
I have a question if i use LIQUID chrome pen on a toy sword can i use the tamya clear after it dries thanks
yes
Hey when can I get the koken goku
Great video 👍
Will it harm decals? I just applied 100 decals on the Millennium Falcon and someone told me that TS-80 may harm the decals. Any idea?
Don't cake it on and you should be good
Hi, any of those 2 coats can resist the hands sweats when you play with the figures?
Any news?
Is there a specific type of paint that Tamiya TS80 might not go well with and ruin the paint? I've got a bootleg figure. It's good an all. I just want to make it look better with a matte finish. Thanks.
I know it's been 2 Yeats lol, but the premium topcoat from Mr. Hobby is an acrylic and the Tamiya is a lacquer. Be careful using lacquers because they are very caustic and will melt and peel lots of paints.
Awesome, black goku looks way better
Its probably just me but i read it figure fight friday lol
How do these look today??

100% will rub off
does this work on softer plastic? I want to top coat the BOTW Link figure from Jakks, but some parts like the hair and the tunic have soft plastic parts
This is what I need, thank you!!
Is bosny flat clear good for matt finishing action figures?
Why would you touch it at all lol get some blue tac and put him on a plate
Hmmmm i wonder what happens if you spray a figure with both
Its even more durable after you let the top coats cure. I would wait at least 2 days.
Can I ask if tamiya flat clear coat is ok with resin?
The Tamiya TS80 is usually out of stock lmao. Guess I'll resort to the premium paint.
ok groovy gonna give Tamiya a go.
Hey DSTAR do you recommend these for custom repaints a person has done on marvel legends, etc? I just repainted the dino thunder white from the lightning collection by hasbro and im looking for something to keep in the black and white really well on him. Thanks in advance and great vid!🙏🏼🔥
Great video man
Tamiya wins due to price availability and it just looks more matte than mr.hobby unless you didn't spray thoroughly on FP goku otherwise clear winner is very noticeable
Also i think for these kind of reviews youd have to use the same figs since you cant see that fp goku had an equal amount of scratches as df black
I've read that I need to use topcoat gloss before I do panel line using tamiya accent liner.
Which of the two should I use if I'm just planning to panel line my gundam kits, without additional painting?
Top coat matte would be a better choice
@@dstar01 confirming if layers should be
Plastic > top coat matte > Tamiya accent panel line?
Tamiya accent color damages bandai plastic, you need to put a protective layer over the plastic. Gloss coat is best for panel lining since it allows paint flow. After you panel line you can go for any finish you want
@@gubabaclips How many coats of the gloss coat would you recommend applying before lining the panels? And should I wait for the gloss coat to dry before applying the panel liner, or immediately do it after I sprayed the gloss coat?

My commissions are closed until further notice
GREAT REVIEW
I hope that the sh figuarts clone goku has a mat finish
Good job man
This help much!
An I crazy, or are you saying 6 inches and then spraying from a foot away
can u fix the sh figuarts saiyan raised on earth bootleg
I think the Tamiya actually looks better! Have you done any videos on adding joints to figures? like say a basic figure with no ankle then adding an ankle joint?
I have not
Does mr hobby top coat premium turn yellowish and does it turn the plastic yellowish if in display for gunpla
No
@@dstar01 so it's perfectly safe to use mr hobby premium and it will not turn the plastic or itself yellowish. Thank you
Also does it damage the decals and stickers
How are they with protecting the paint ?
Any recommendations for keeping paint from scraping or rubbing off ? Looking for something for my custom figure
They are good but the absolute best is a 2 part set from here: www.splash-paints.com/product-page/2k-ultra-matte-clear
@@dstar01 trying to see if you’ve reviewed this before ? Have you used this personally ?
Yes I use this stuff personally
Paint chip on a custom is about bonding, not sealing.
@@markb7595 oh really !? For sure so using primer then ?
I’ve tried the Premium Topcoat Flat Matte finish on my Goku, but it seems like after it dries, the texture of the figure kinda a bit hard compared to the original texture. Is it normal?
Normal. That texture is essentially to protect it
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that Ryu intro!
You got a FLAT table😂
Love your videos
Guess I'm gonna be doing this to all of my figures. Tamiya Color just shot up in price haha.
Hey Dexter is the tamiya top coat in the Description meant for plastic?
Yes. Can honestly be used with almost anything
@@dstar01 thanks Dexter appreciate it
@@kayakids5185 Mr Hobby and Tamiya are great spray cans but if you have the extra budget try looking for Mr Hobby Mr Super clear Flat UV cut it's bit pricey but definitely worth it.
@@lazergator1016 okay thanks bro
@@kayakids5185 No problem man
That’s a totally wrong way to spray paint😂
How would I intentionally take off the top coat? Would water or soap work?
So are these better than the Mr.Super Clear Flat stuff? I'm trying to get my super7 turtles stuff not so shiny so im ordering a solution and I didn't know if it made a big difference since these products all seem to do the same thing
Plz make dragon star Jiren and hit look like sh figuarts plz
Just get the SHF
Did you spray it on the rubbery skirt piece of Black too? it looks pretty glossy
That's going to tack out. Don't spray solvents on vinyl. Airbrush only
Glad I already bought a bunch of Tamiya paints.
I found that Mr Hobby atracts dust much more than Tamiya
You're really making me want to get some top coat now Dstar, haha!
Oh yeah one question, is it easy to paint over top coat?
Yes
🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
I ordered 2 Mr Hobby premium top coat flat from Japan. £20 😊
Wow incredible results love how abomination goku looks and also what is your new job just curious
Car paint sprayer down at the garage 😄
