I went to the LHS and they had some Tester's Dullcoat laquer spray. I tried it and its great, easy to use and made a really nice finish. Flattens out the finish perfectly, no streaking or discoloration.

Re: Flat top coat?

I agree with kip here, ive been using polyurethane on models since i was a kid when i would paint cox control line models with testors spray cans & needed to fuel proof them.

my prefered brand is varathane comes in flat ,semigloss or highgloss

my last couple of projects used HOME. hardware rust paint, all the funky colors,fuel proof & may be available in clears?

Im sure everyone agrees when painting over different types of paints best to test on scrap first & see if fuel eats it.

But is it nitro fuel proof up to at least 5-10% nitro. I know the gloss in the rattle can from CTC is fuel proof but the flat doesn't seem to be. I need to clear coat a project from 2 winters ago and it's still ot done as it is painted in latex and needs a flat clear. Also be careful with luster coat. It is fine to clear coat over laquer with it but i bet it would bubble and spoil the latex paint?

I just did one of my war birds with a polyurethane semi gloss. It came out really good.
