Low Sheen Lacquer for Model Finishing

Mr.Hobby GSI-C182 Flat Clear is a lacquer-based flat topcoat in a 10ml bottle, part of the trusted Mr.Color family. It provides a consistent low-sheen layer that helps integrate painted details and reduce surface glare.

Compatible Surfaces

This clear is intended for plastics like styrene, resin, and painted figure surfaces. It is not suitable for untreated polycarbonate RC bodies, where specialised polycarbonate paints should be used.

Practical Application Advice

Apply in a ventilated workspace using light coats from a brush or airbrush and allow full drying between layers. Keep the bottle sealed when not in use to maintain solvent balance in the 10ml container.

Can I use this over enamel or acrylic base coats?

Yes, it can be applied over properly cured enamel or acrylic finishes, but always test compatibility on a scrap area to avoid lifting or clouding.

What safety precautions should I take?

Use good ventilation or a respirator, avoid open flames, and wear gloves and eye protection when spraying or brushing lacquer-based products.

Are there recommended thinners to use?

Use a lacquer-appropriate thinner compatible with Mr.Color lacquers and follow small test sprays to find the right ratio for your airbrush.

How long before I can handle a painted piece?

Drying times vary with temperature and coat thickness; allow several hours to touch dry and longer for full hardness, ideally overnight between handling.

Does the flat clear protect against minor abrasion?

The lacquer adds a modest protective layer against light abrasion and handling, but it is not a substitute for specialised protective coatings on high-wear parts.
