I depends on how you are going to do the weathering. If you use weathering powders as offered by Bar Mills or Bragdon, they suggest to use them on a flat dull surface to allow the powders something to grip onto. If you are using chalks, Dullcoat is usually added after to seal the chalk. It also diminishes the effects of the chalk, so you have to either add it extra heavy or add additional coats. <br /> <br />If you are going to do it with paints and an aribrush, then it really does not matter. If using acrylic paint to weather, then I guess the Dullocat before might prevent the "beading" problem you mentioned. I have no experience in this myself, having used mostly Floquil over the years. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
