I asked this in my silkspan thread, but thought I should re-post it since I want to finish finishing on my Yak-9.

I've always used gloss for every color coat and then a topcoat of clear. But after some reading over at Aeromaniacs, if I understand correctly, flat color will adhere better, weigh less, and be just as glassy after the clear coat. Is this true, or should at least the last coat of color be glossy too? I want this model to be glossy white with red stripes.
Thanks,

Rusty
