Hi Mike;
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query. I agree with you on the finalk finish, although I prefer as matte as possible on my own models. But I think you may have misinterpreted my quetion. I was asking about your preference for spraying with. I prefer a gloss surface for decalling and weathering onto , then I seal it in with a Matte coat. Do you use Golss varnish after painting to weather and decal on? Would you like to have a gloss paint to work with then matte or semi matte down afterwards? Or do you prefer to use matte, gloss, then matte? Is Matte easier to spray? It certainly dries faster. If you wouldn't mind letting me know your thoughts on these questions I would appreciate hearing what you have to say Mike.

Thanks again,

Jay
