Thanks, I've got some X-35 Semi-gloss clear arriving soon, so I'll try that first.

In terms of finish/lustre, how is that different from Gunze Sangyo C181 as recommended earlier in the thread?

I have actually sandblasted RB Motion parts using a Paasche Air Eraser and then hit them with a black or grey wash to tone them down. Sometimes machines parts can look too jewelry like for my taste.

Exactly. I think satin varnish should give a similar effect to light blasting.
