Quest Lil' Grunt Build #Q5014, Part 8, Touch-Up & A Dull Coat TIP

The body tube edgess didn't get a full coverage of the olive Drab spray paint.

A baggie was pressed into a small cup and a puddle of olive drab was sprayed in the bottom.

Roll a Q-tip in the paint puddle and wipe off some excess paint. Roll it over the tube edges.

Simply lift the baggie (with the paint at the bottom) zip it closed and throw it away. 

The look of the clear stickers against the flat olive drab paint bothered me.

Maybe a dull coat could even out the sheen.

I first tested compatibility using Krylon Acrylic dull coat on a corner of a left over sticker sheet. On the left is before, on the right is after the dull coat was sprayed.

TIP: The upper picture shows the reflection of the glossy sticker set down on the satin finish paint.

The clear areas on the sticker look glossy and transparent.

The lower picture is after the flat finish acrylic was sprayed.

Under direct light and in the photo you can see a subtle difference. It looks better in person. Now, that gloss sticker against the flat finish isn't as obvious.
