Hey everyone,
I made a post a few days back as I'm looking for a new sealant for my ponies. I really wanted a spray as I feel it would give a better finish than brushing it on. I settled on Testors Dullcote, but I stumbled across a video just now comparing the Dullcote to something called The Army Painter Anti-Shine. I've never heard of it before, but the results seemed as good as Testors. But it comes in a 400ml can instead of Testor's 85ml, and for not a lot more money. I found a 400ml can on ebay for £7.99, and I'm seriously tempted to give it a go, but just wondered if anyone here had tried it already?
Thanks :)

I just bought some  :P
I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes. It works out cheaper than Testors Dullcote, so if it works, might be worth it.

I use it all the time  :P

It works great, I have no complaints.  I prefer sprays over brushed on sealants as I tend to use pastel dust on my ponies and it just doesn't work well with brush on sealants.

You have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say that lol. I've been spending far too much on ponies and materials recently, and I was worried that this stuff might not work and I'd have wasted my money.
Can't wait to try it out  :)

It came through this morning and I immediately tested it on an airbushed test-pony  :P
Gotta say that so far I'm pleased with it. It has dried matt and looks pretty good! I noticed a very slight orange-peel effect on the head, but I think I went a bit too heavy. Body looks great.
Think I'll be using this from now on, it's a much nicer effect than brushing it on. How well it protects the paint I don't know yet. I'll probably test that out a little later with a pony I'm going to strip anyway (airbrush had a bit of a tantrum with me, so that pony has to be redone anyway  :blush:)
