I've gotten some Gunze Acrylics and some of the flat base. How exactly do you use the flat base with the gloss colors?

The best way is to experiment. One part flat base to three parts gloss will usually work. Too much flat base will give a dusty look so go easy with it. You can always add a little more if you see the need.

hi There

i have just sprayed a model with gunze flat clear, and it looks a little bit like it is dusty, what would be the correct mix to prevent that ?,

thanks for the help

i've tried a mix of 1 part gunze flat clear to 2 parts thinner (mr. hobby thinner, also from gunze) and it came out ok. if the mix still seems cloudy to you, just add some more thinner.
