This only a repaint I'm afraid , but this seemed like the best place to ask.
This old Hornby Mk2 body has been brush painted with acrylic paint. I recently gave up on enamel paint, and I'm finding acrylics far easier to use .
This was only intended to be a practise piece and it's inspired by the Green and Cream Mk2 coaches used in Scotland in the late eighties.
I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out and so I'm intending to retrieve the rest of it from the spares box and reassemble and get it back into service. I'm concerned that the paint finish may not very robust and that as it's semi matt, it may be difficult to attach transfers.
Therefore I'm looking for some advice on what varnish to use ?
I was intending to give it a coat of gloss varnish, add the transfers then go over it again with satin varnish. The last varnish I bought was (I think) Humbrol satin in a aerosol , It was a nightmare to use because no matter how much you rattled the can, it wouldn't cover evenly, instead it spat big spots of varnish all over the model.
Cheers, Ken
