madbrad Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 What's the best sealer to use? I have tryed krylon and a matte craft sealer and they both make my matalics look like flat greys and yellow, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm about to just not clear coat any of my minis anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I've found that the best way to keep my metallics shiny is to basecoat and shade them before sealing, but wait until I've sealed the mini to highlight them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonto Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I use the Citadel matte spray sealer, it seems to do the job pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akiosama Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 While I will admit that I've not used it more than once, and it did a great job, Testor's Dullcote gets a lot of press online. Also, if you want to protect your minis as much as possible, I've heard that putting a gloss coat on and then dulling it with a matte sealant works better than a matte sealant alone. And Ferox's suggestion is something I've heard in multiple places. Privateer Press even talks about it in their 'how-to' painting sections on metallics in their 'Forces of WarmaHordes' books.
