thanks in advance guys!

All of Testors in the spray can Gloss, Semi-Gloss and Flat coat are a lacquer base.

Not like Future, as future is an acrylic.

I have never had a problem getting a glossy coat from the Testors Gloss, are you sure you weren't using the Flat or Semi Gloss can????? These wouldn't give much of a gloss if at all.

Testors also make a gloss, semi gloss and matt in the bottle that you can thin with thinner, I beleive they make these in their MM line in both acrylic and enamel.....may be wrong here as I have only seen them in passing and have never tried them.

One thing to stay away from is the Krylon Latex Matt Coat....its sucks as a matt coat, and actually will give more of a gloss coat than a coat of future will.

course walmart has liek everything... they sell some testor models, revell, monogram, testor paint and all, aztek ab and paitn kits and gloss or matt or flat spray cans and superglue.... but its nothing close to a model store...

wow, i thougth my modeling store was limited.... guess not! thank god you can order online
