    Just recently sprayed a rifle with Krylon. Great finish, super flat and even the only thing is though whenever I hold it the natural oils on my skin leave grease marks all over it! Now Im certainly not in my teens and have regular type skin but it seems the finish sucks up any oils at all?

    Does anyone know a good sealer for krylon? Something that wouldnt leave a horribly shiny finish, something along the lines of the standard abs plastic finish.

    Cheers.

    I think you can get a clear matt lacquer in Motor Factors, as I'm sure I saw it in Halfords a few weeks ago, if that suits your needs?

    don;t do it , you want the paint to chip and get natural wear :)

    but if really want to seal it you can check out car shops as lefty said another option is to check at your local modeling store, you can normal pick up some matt finish, stay away from the over prices games workshop stuff and look for a brand called testors dull coat

    Just in case anyone else is wondering on where to pick some matte lacquer / sealer up I managed to get it in homebase. I will link it below.

    Couple this with kylon and now you can concevebly paint any rifle in any colour krylon make and retain a finish that is factory good. No wearing or chipping and fully weather proof. Laid down a few coats of krylon and 2 coats of this sealer and it looks as good as any factory finish I have seen. The very slightest of sheens to it so it retains that almost matte finish.

    Will throw up pics of the finished item in a few weeks on the pics thread but for now here is the link to the sealer if anyone is ever looking for it.
