I've discovered this neat little trick for a super flat clear coat, don't know if any of you cats have already found this out.
Before I lay down any decals if first give the model a clear coat of Krylon Crystal Clear (1303) once dry, decal application and another coat of Krylon Clear. Once that's all dry I hit it with Tamiya Clear Flat (TS-80) and the results are almost instantaneous.
The result is a really flat clear coat, most impressive but I don't know the long term effects of this since I just discovered it for myself. It seems way better then the Testors crap that never really produces a satisfactory matt finish and ALWAYS yellows, so sick of that!
If you guys have something better, let me know because my system seems to really work. Happy modeling! 8)
