Re: Help with Painting a resin S&W gun

For a final coat that does not have any tacky properties, use Krylon Satin Clear. It is an acrylic clear quickly dries. If there is any area on the gun you feel is too shiny, then just lightly rub it down with a piece of grey scotchbrite (grey is a lighter abrasive than red.) Hope this helps.
