Shame the ole dullcoat has passed on . Try and get some VMS stuff, it is as good as the Testors stuff, if not better as it doesn't smell

Ordered the Testors this time. I'll see if I can find a vendor for the VMS stuff. Is it Lacquer or acrylic?

You're lucky that you can still get Testors, I used to swear by that stuff

.
I have two jars left which are for hard times when I run out of VMS

.

The VMS matt coat is acrylic, they dry with the same sheen as Testors and are just as durable

.
Pete has been using them for years, and I have had them for the last 3 years at least.
