tabascojunkie Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 For anyone that may be looking for it like me, I found the brush on version of Dull-Cote at HobbyTown USA in Plano, TX. I don't know if they'll all have it, but I think most of them have alot of the Testor's stuff, so maybe. Just thought I'd share. Bruce.

haldir Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I think the brush on version thou is a lacquer vs the enamel of the spray can. just a word of warning on that one. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabascojunkie Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yup, it does say it's a lacquer. Still smells the same, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I thought the spray was a lacquer too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painfully Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I believe it's the same formula. It is lacquer based. For best results, the bottled stuff should be used with airbrushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabascojunkie Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 That's how I'll be using it. I have an M41 model tank kit I'm almost done with and a bunch of starship minis I worked on yesterday that are almost ready to start sealing. As for the Lacquer thing, the brush on stuff says to thin it with lacquer thinner. This is the same stuff I use to clean my airbrush with, it'll remove dried acrylics. Hopefully it won't do the same to my minis Isn't the key to using disparate paints and sealers and all that in making sure the paint underneath is fully cured, not just dry? Anybody know?

smokingwreckage Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah, make sure it's thouroughly cured and you should be fine. If in doubt, arange a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I believe it's the same formula. It is lacquer based. For best results, the bottled stuff should be used with airbrushes. regular spray can Testors DullCote describes itself as a "Flat Lacquer Overcoat". I was told at my local hobby store that the bottled DullCote should only be used with an airbrush since it can dissolve and remove the underlying paint if brushed on (so sayeth Venture Hobbies).

mooseyjoe Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Just out of curiousity, why airbrush the bottled stuff when you can just spray on the canned stuff? Seems like a lot less work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Because you have an airbrush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User Vaitalla Posted July 7, 2006 Reaper User Share Posted July 7, 2006 Moosey, because you can control the mix with the airbrush a lot better than you can with the spray can, thus reducing the risk of problems (the Evil Speckles or The Dreaded Frost). You can also control the thickness of the application (reducing the risk of pooling). But yeah, it's too much cleanup for me. --Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
