Gloss or Matte?

[Anakinmonkey]

I recently got a new resin casting of a scout pistol from hole in the ground productions. On the guide it informs me to use krylon fusion which i will do. I plan to use a grey primer and a black top coat. but gloss or matte? Ive looked up images of the pistol and seen both gloss and matte but cant seem to find the right awnser. Should i do black matte, black gloss? or a black matte with clear gloss?

 

Any awnsers will be helpful.

looks like the orignals maybe where a semigloss ...

In my personal opinion, semi-gloss looks the best. It appears to be closest to canon and looks like a realisitc weapon.

I like matte for pistols. Gives them a more weathered look. But there's no hard and fast rule

Satin looks good on a scout blaster. All my 501st guns are satin with a touch of weathering.

I have the same HITG resin blaster, and used rustoleum metallic aluminum paint + primer and then went over that with satin black.
