For my damaged ReZEL I decided to give pastel weathering a shot. Everything was going good until I gave it a top coat of Testor's Dull Cote. All of the pastel soaked up into the coat and nearly disappeared.

The outcome was better than I expected, but completely out of left field. (Better because I expected to wake up and see an unsalvageable mess)
The whole situation is no different than when a dirty car gets hit with a little bit of rain. Dirty little water spots.
Not about to get it get me too down, I applied more pastels. This time I coated with Mr Color Clear (Flat).
