Gloss Gray versus Flat Gray

Gray 1138TT is gloss; Testors Flat Gray 1163TT is flat. Both are 1/4 oz enamels. If your project calls for a flat gray, compare 1163TT rather than ordering the gloss bottle simply because both names contain gray. The finish distinction does not establish that their shades are identical.

Before painting the model

Use the bottle label for preparation, thinning and application on your chosen material. A small test on spare material lets you judge the color and finish before painting a finished model.
