Hey so I posted my kit in the /m/ gpg thread a few days ago after I had finished the straight build and applying all the stickers. I mentioned that I had ordered some Mr. Top Coat Flat Spray and my next intended step was to give it a matte finish but the couple anons that replied to my post advised against it. Well the topcoat arrived in the mail today and I initially decided to go ahead with it anyway after spraying some of the runners to get an idea of how it would turn out. I thought it looked pretty good but there's a difference between a small line of plastic and an entire kit. So before I pull the trigger and totally commit to doing this I figured it would be nice to get a perspective from the builders over here that don't visit /m/'s gpg. Normally I wouldn't be so finicky over what to do with a kit since if it turned out looking shitty I could just buy another one, but this particular kit was pretty hard for me to get and I'm not sure about how easy it would be to get another one.
So tl;dr if it was up to you would you go ahead with the flat coat? Or use a gloss or semi gloss coat instead? Or stick with no coat at all?
In the event this post doesn't get ignored, thanks in advance for any opinions and/or constructive criticism.
