Joss Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 I seem to have hit a small problem. I sprayed some humbrol matte acrylic varnish and its gone 'frosty'. Any ideas on how to fix it? Any helps much appreciated Joss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have had this whilst airbrushing Vallejo and MIG Matt varnishes. It's seemed to happen if I flooded an area. It didn't dry in, it stayed as it was when it when down. You could try a very soft cloth and some thinners on it to try and wipe it away. I would be very wary though as you don't want to damage your excellent paint work. It it looks as you's is fairly localised though in a small area, maybe it would be safer to leave it. I found before that when airbrushing matt varnish to do very light coats at a good distance from the model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks for the tip, sounds like a good idea, I shall give this a try when I get home!! Unfortunately it's all over the model. Hopefully I can finish before the deadline but who knows... Joss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to well unfortunately tried removing the top layer however it has still has the misting on :/ I'm going to shelve her for the moment until I can find the enthusiasm to carry on! Thank you for the support and advice much appreciated. Joss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really eagle she is sitting on the shelf at the moment as I don't have the enthusiasm to finish the model due to the Matt varnish ruining the paint job but one day I might but the canopy and other little bits on... We will see! Regards Joss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
