Just came into possesion of a few bottles of Alclad and SnJ.
I am just wondering if once those paints are dry, will they take a wash or some sort, or should I give it a gloss coat.
I am just worried with a gloss coat...that the Alclad and/or SnJ will loose a little of its luster, which is what I am looking for. I know that the MM Metalizer ends up being a little on the soft side....so too harsh of a wash can actually harm the paint without thier metalizer coat.
Just wondering if Alcald and SnJ paints were the same.
TIA

Gloss cote does back the luster off a notch, but I don't think that is so bad. The Pogo in my "Feature" has been Gloss coted over Alclad II. I think it makes it look a little less like silver and more like aluminum.
