guys just want to ask what's the best topcoat you can buy. and any good substitutes for it? top coat is a bit expensive. and lastly can you still remove topcoat using some thinner or something. thanks

if you use thinner to remove topcoats, just be careful with it, it might remove the paint beneath it.

oh yeah, if you mean to removed the top coat only? now that would be very hard. . . because thinner can removed both top coat and the base color.

if you don't mind the glossy have a read here. I get mine from local super market and use for intermediate coat for panel lining/decaling and etc. before final semi glossy coat... Oh yea, you need airbrush to use.... |

Haven't used other than air brushing since I can simply tip into the bowl and spray away...
