Hi All,
I airbrushed my model with MM aluminum metalizer. I want to cover this with a layer of gloss coat for protection against scratches etc. Does this work or will it in some way harm the aluminium look?
best regards Matthijs

I "Clear Cote" all my NMF. It does tend to darken the metalizer, a little, but I don't think that's all that bad. The "Pogo" in my "Feature" is Alclad II was MM Gloss Cote over it. I've also used MM and SNJ metalizers with similar results.
