Discussion on Lacquer Testors Dull Cote over Polly S Acrylic Paint? within the Prop Building Workshop forum, part of the Community category; OK. Painted my Fett helmet with Polly Scale Acrylic Paint.
OK.
Painted my Fett helmet with Polly Scale Acrylic Paint.
Can I clearcoat it with Testors Dull Cote (lacquer) or will it F@#$ up the paint?
To complicate things, I used enamel paint on the back of the helmet (floquil, coudlnt find the right green in polly s acrylic)
Paint gurus, I am at your mercy.
Do I even need to clear coat it?

Hmmmm some Laquer based paint wrinkles, some Acrylic. Spray some of your base paint on a test piece, and then dull cost it and see if its compatible.
Glad to see someone is asking before coating like I did when I screwed up my helmet over the summer
Wish I could help, buddy.
Hope it comes out OK.
Can't wait to see some pics.

Jedi-Bob, what happened to your helmet and what were the products that you used? My fiberglass helm is just a few steps away from the topcoat, and I don't want any accidents, either!
I'm using polly scale acrylics on my bucket and have dullcoated it with Testors Dullcote spray with no apparent problems.
jedi bob used american accents clear topcoat IIRC...
