I’m wrapping up a project and I had an idea to mix matte with glossy elements. I’ve got a spray can of Testors Spray Dullcote and then was wanting to paint the glossy elements by hand with a different gloss coating/finish. How well would those interact with each other? I’d obviously let the matte finish dry first, but would the matte “cancel” out the glossy effect or does it have some other interactions that basically make it not worth pursuing?

    It will be fine. I always lean on the safe side and let the spray varnish sit on the mini for at least a day before painting on the gloss.

      Yep, I just threw caution to the wind and it seemed to work out (waited about a day on the matte to dry though). It was really just for adding a bit of luster to some elements I wanted to stand out a bit more and it seems to work well.
