Does the paint have the same effect as top coat on model kits ?

Yes it gives you a nice smooth glossy finish.Great for applying decals so they don't silver

It looks better if you use it for the under coat. If you do put it on top, paint another thin layer of color on top. It will be shiny again. Best of luck!

Good morning Russelk777 Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

My paint touch up looks really good. Not perfect, but close. In bright sunlight you can see a slight difference in texture from the paint not being a perfectly even sprayed on application like factory paint, but for a few dollars from more than a feet away or in dim lighting it looks perfect

I'm going by memory, so if someone corrects me they are probably right... the kit came with two small cans of paint, a nice little brush, a mini paint tray. You do not need to put a protective clear top coat over it, or primer. I did golden oak cabinets in my RV white and they needed 3-4 coats and still kind of have a 'shabby chic' look to them. I'm glad it wasn't my house, I will do the rest of the trailer cabinets in a dark colour instead.

I use a professional top coat, so no, it doesn't dull when I apply a top coat. However, I do re-apply a top coat every two days in order to prolong the look.

Since the top coat (or final finish) is an epoxy-type solution that was supplied with your kit, it probably won't hold up long enough with the proper consistency to be applied at some later time. Check with Rust-Oleum though; but my feeling is that you'll probably need to purchase more of the compound to get the finish that you want.

my use for this paint has been for detail work in coloring 50 caliber ammunition belts for vintage military aircraft and armored vehicle models.as such, I do not know how it would compare to powder coating on larger items.

No it does not, the material is very smooth so i don't think if you paint it, it'll look good.

I think it was supposed to. I bought high quality paint and was okay with primer but had problems getting the paint to go. The paint store said that despite claims from manufacturer I probably needed to buy the thinning additives-decided to give up at that point. In addition, you really need to buy different tips for different applications and each one is $30-$40 .

You should not need to paint any gundam models (especially MG ones) unless they are really old. This kit has great colors right out of the box so unless you just don't like the shade of color the answer is no. The only pieces some people choose to paint are the "gold" parts that come in more of a dull bronze unless you buy the upgraded version of this kit with more stuff.

i have had great success with this clear coat. i used it over a krylon color-coat that i sprayed on top of the eastwood epoxy primer as well. it turned out gorgeous, and if you sand your color coat well before applying this clear, and do it properly, you'll get near glass-smooth results. i didnt even wetsand the clear on mine, i just left it, and it looks like a factory paint job. just be sure to give it proper cure times, and not to mention, the final cure takes much less time than a krylon or rusto clear. 1 can was perfect for a nice top coat on a bicycle frame.

Depends on what you have. If your paint is faded or in bad shape it wont matter. If your looking at a new paint job, it adds depth and gloss to your base color. For a touch up for scratches you'd want to use clear to blend in the repair. I don't however recommend this brand for anything other than small repairs. IT has to much reducer and Flashes (dries) to fast. Normally a fast drying paint is what you want but this stuff is drying as soon as it leaves the gun.

This one looks as pictured and is ready to go, but if you want a difference color, you can repaint it. Hobby paint will spray much finer and thinner, and will likely weigh less, but doubt it will change performance much.

No I actually didn't get any topcoat with this. I like china glazes' matte. I think it runs 4 or 5 dollars

It's very good, I've repainted Red frame with a set and they're still going. But be sure to shake them well and most likely you'll need to do more then one coat, let the coats dry 100% be for re-coating. Other wise you'll damage the first coat and waste paint. The metallic paint need more shaking then the others as well, but once it's started it covers just as well as the others.
