feoffee2 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi I have painted an Airfix Bolton Paul defiant in the Matt black nightfighter markings. I am wanting to give it a coat of Matt varnish. However brushing it on will cause a white residue I believe. However will using Matt varnish in a spray rattle can do the same? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I use Games Workshop Citadel Munitorium Varnish in a rattle can. Works a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 If you decal onto matt paint/varnish, the decal film will 'silver'. Always decal onto a gloss finish, then matt afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
