Painted a model with this and it is a good matt finish. Need to gloss it for decals/transfers - can I use Kleer, anyone know please?

I've never used Kleer over AK (because I've never used AK anything I expect...) but it works over every other sort of paint I've used so far.

The standard advice is 'give it a test' on something that's going spare and see what happens.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

It's the 1st time I have used it and did not realise it was not acrylic until too late and I do not want to cock it up as I have a fair bit of work invested in this one

Can you spray something else, on which it won't matter if it cocks up, & Kleer coat it to see what happens? :unsure:

Kleer/Future will not effect lacquers.

Thanks - I have brushed some Kleer over it and 24 hours later still all good. So I am going to do all of it and I'll let you know.
