Tamiya Clear Flat TS 80

I've had good experiences with Tamiya but haven't tried their clear flat yet. Is it simular in performance to Dullcote?

I prefer the Tamiya Flat over Dullcoat. Don't spray it on a humid day though.

I use it over Dullcote, lays down nice smooth finish.

I think it is better than dullcoat as well.  And yes, using it on a humid day will give you a cloudy finish, however I have found that a second coat on a non humid day will get rid of that.

So far Tamiya has been very consistent. Wish I had moved over a long time ago instead of falling into the RR colors only idea . The clear flat spray is very worthy, nice and simple. The smaller sizes are a question at first but once the project gets done is less of an issue.

I find that the Tamyia spray can dispenses a finer, more controllable flow than Dullcote's can.

Would the cloudiness from spraying on a humid day give the look of old, faded paint?

TS80 (and really every Tamiya paint) is far, far superior to any Testors product.
