Exotics_Builder Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Milo said: How can I degloss it? Depending on the use, either semi-gloss or flat clear will take the gloss down. I usually test out with semi-gloss first for leather/vinyl and flat for cloth. But sometimes flat is needed even for leather/vinyl because the sheen is still too great.

Milo Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Should I use lacquer or enamel clear? Sometimes I'm using enamel, lacquer, or acrylic for all kinds of things, and I haven't heard much good about enamel clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Tamiya makes both a semi gloss and a flat and they are quite compatible with TS7. Go with that..the safe bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The Tamiya White Primer might give you the finish you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does if you're aiming for a parchment/white color, but Racing White is more towards an ivory color (which has some yellow in it).

NOBLNG Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I believe I used Tamiya racing white for this interior. I should have given it a coat of flat clear?? Edited November 20, 2023 by NOBLNG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Tamiya Racing White is close to Ford's old Wimbledon White, sort of an off-white if you will. Their Pure White is a bright white but I use their clear flat over gloss paints for interiors and it works well. Once dry, you can sort of polish the flat with your finger or even a little actual polish to give certain areas a touch of semi-gloss to mimic wear on leather and such.
