Both Testors Glosscote and Dullcote are available in bottles.  I have two sizes, a square bottle containing 1¾oz.and a round bottle containing 29.5ml.  For airbrushing, thin with ordinary lacquer thinner.  Either will give you better mileage than a spray can, and, by mixing the two in varying proportions, you can create various semi-gloss mixtures, too.

In fairness to Solidesign Custom Decals, I should clarify that the $22.00 Priority Mail charge was absorbed by the company. Scott only charged me for First Class Mail ($8.00). When I posted earlier about the mailing costs I didn't realize that he had footed the extra $.

I also got an apology from him today for the decals taking so long.
