Dullcoat is way overrated, I now use Tamiya flat spray can which in all ways, meets my needs better than dullcoat.

I have to pick up more. I was lucky and only found one whole can on all of ebay.

I wasnt worried about my kits because once i paint them they go on display but the ones i do for friends will get handled alot and i want to seal them in with a couple of nice coats of dull finish.

I don't like to "Dull Coat" the entire statue, because it changes the finish texture of the paint. Sometimes I just prefer the look of the flat paint by it's self. But certain color paints simply have too much pigment/paint ratio and they need to be dull coated. So, I spray some Testors dull coat into a jar and brush it on the areas that need it. But keep in mind that the ingredient that gives it the dull finish settles to the bottom, and that is where you need to dip brush to. Stirring it up isn't always effective.
