Can I put Testors Dull Coat over Tamiya Weathering Master?

[Speedfreak]

Last night I applied some Tamiya Weathering Master 'D' to some white headers. It worked great and looks great except, I used one of those small Tamiya q-tip things to remove some excess material and in the process made the weathering pigment shiney. So my question is, "If I (I'm going to) apply Testors Dull coat to take the shine off will it cause the weathering pigment to run, or , deform in any other way? there it is. Thanks!

It will soften the look of it, kinda "melts" the weathering and spreads it out thinner. You kinda have to do layers to get the look you want. Looks great in the end. Just use light a light dusting and let it dry, and repeat until you get the look right.

James, do you mean I have to re-apply the pigment after applying the Dull Coat? Ok, I get it.

Also, I used acrylic inside the header tips, is that a problem with Dull Coat? Thanks.

Yes, that's what i meant by layering. Pigment, dull coat, dry. Next layer of pigment, dull coat, dry.

I had a chassis done up with dust and mud nice, i dull coat it and it softened everything. Took 2 more rounds of layering but it turned out nicer than the first time i applied it. Happy mistake, more work but better results.

Well depends on how you like the final results. If the pigment looks to glossy then dull coat.

Ok, James, thanks for all the info. I think I'm just going to re-apply the pigment to take away the gloss and call it a day!
