Odor-free Dullcote alternative?

Just finished chalk weathering a CSX hopper car and finished it off with some dullcoate and forgot how stinky and smelly it was and now I am trying to find some non smelly/odor free alternatives that would do the same thing as dullcoate. Any ideas?

There might be a water based version in the Model Master line of military colors(testors)
The shutdown of Floquil and Polyscale lines is a pain to the entire Hobby.

If any product was odor free it would be made out of an "environmentally friendly" material that would break down and wear out after a year.
Honestly anything "green" usually sucks.

I take my projects outside on a nice day, spray them there and leave them out for a few hours for the vapors to evaporate.

Anything that involves solvents will have some sort of odor, some more offensive than others. Whenever using any spray-on finishes, always work in a WELL-VENTILATED AREA, this means outdoors, or a room with a fan that vents to the outside, or a spray booth, or a garage with the doors open... If you must spray in the basement or attic, find a way to vent the fumes outside and keep the fresh air flowing.

You might try spraying on a thinned water-based acrylic varnish. These are available in matte, satin, and gloss finish at craft stores.
