Hi folks,
So today I compared the dupli-color vinyl clear coat spray with the SB-3000 solvent clear coat. Both links are below.

Both did a great job, but I have to say, the finish is somewhat more vibrant with the dupli-color vinyl, and of course, it also doesn't need an airbrush. That said, the SB-3000 was nice as well, and were it not for the side-by-side, it's pretty dang good. Plus, as noted above, looking forward to mixing in some color shift pigments with a large needle to see what happens (mess and disaster most likely for me).
Now, this is just the "art" stage, how each will hold up in the water, that's yet to be determined. But both look good right now. For the SB-3000, I just mixed thinned in the brush reservoir, used all the material, and then cleaned with solvent. Not bad, but make sure you dress up in your best PPE (for both products).
Cheers & good fishing!
