Questions & Answers
Yes, I used it on a HG kit and it worked fine; just make sure you don't apply it too thickly.
You can, in fact. This has actually been used as a primer on glossy plastic to remove the sheen and allow paint to adhere. The plastic won't be harmed in any way.
Yes, as long as the Polyethylene resin is thick enough to be rigid. If it's a garbage bag, go ahead and be flexible.
To give a model airplane a natural look by dulling a coat of gloss paint and protecting decals. When applying decals, you must use a gloss paint. After that, use a flat coat to finish the job.

Instead, go for the gloss version. The product performs as expected, dries quickly, and is simple to apply; however, be aware that it dulls the appearance of plastic and paint. It adds a nice layer of protection, but it pales in comparison to Tamiya's Clear Gloss and Semi-Gloss spray paints. Gloss spray paint variants, in my opinion, make colors pop more vividly, whereas this product does the opposite, making colors fade in and out. If you don't like a glossy finish, this is probably the product for you; just keep in mind that it will detract from the color of whatever you use it on. I painted a coat of paint on a piece of red plastic, which turned a paler, pinkish color.
Yes, it will alter the color of whatever it is sprayed on, but the matte finish is quite attractive. Whatever you do, make sure you have good lighting so you can see if your coat is even. It's very easy to over-spray and end up with some pooled yuck! Once coated, the black wings are particularly stunning.
After doing a lot of research, this appears to be the best matte clear coat for miniatures, but the bottle size is a little on the small side.
On my Gundam, I've tried a few different matte sprays, and this one is definitely worth it. It will transform an unpainted model with panel lining into a work of art.
I'm shocked that such a useless item exists. INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION IN THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ON THE LABEL IF YOUR PRODUCT DESTROYS INK AND PAINT! I believe the gundam markers are to blame more than the spray, but Tamiya could have easily put a warning on the can in some way, shape, or form and chose not to. On a product that isn't returnable, it's a bit suspect. Thank you for squandering my time and money on purpose. Tamiya, I'm done with you. Your company is a sham, and you have no right to operate in the United States.
This is what I use for faceups on resin dolls (bjds). It has a smooth finish that enhances the feel of the resin while still having just enough "tooth" to allow for easy painting over. The only drawback is the small size of the can.
Great way to keep the paint on the inside from chipping, but it's a bit of a rip-off for such a small amount of money. And no, rc clear coat does not exist. It doesn't matter which brand you use because it'll be painted on. I no longer purchase them.
To be honest, I've never used the Flat spray before. I bought it because I'm sure I'll need it at some point, and Tamiya, in my experience, makes products that easily cover a model. It only takes two fine passes over a part to finish it.
