Spray Varnishes

Spray varnishes are an essential part of modeling chemicals, used to protect a finished model. They provide the final, transparent top coat that protects the paint, decals, and weathering effects from damage, abrasion, and external factors. Aerosol application is extremely convenient, especially for beginner modelers and when painting larger surfaces. It allows for quick, even coverage over the entire model, ensuring a smooth finish without brush marks. It's a simple-to-use tool that significantly enhances the durability and aesthetics of any miniature.

Types of Spray Varnish Finishes

We offer clear spray varnishes in three basic types of finishes, allowing you to match the effect to the character of your model. Matte varnish (matt) is ideal for military models, such as tanks, aircraft, or armored vehicles, giving them a realistic, non-reflective appearance. Gloss varnish (gloss) is perfect for civilian models like cars, motorcycles, or passenger aircraft. It creates a smooth, shiny surface that also serves as an excellent base for decals, preventing the effect known as 'silvering.' Satin varnish (satin), also called semi-gloss, is a versatile intermediate solution that provides a subtle sheen, suitable for many subjects, from modern fighter jets to various figures.

How to Properly Use Spray Varnish?

To achieve the best results, follow a few simple rules. Before use, shake the can vigorously for about a minute to mix the contents thoroughly. Ensure the model's surface is clean and completely dry. Apply the varnish in short, smooth strokes from a distance of about 20-30 cm (8-12 inches). It is much better to apply several thin coats, allowing each one to dry, than one thick coat, which can cause runs or drips. Work in a well-ventilated area and at room temperature to ensure the protective coat dries and cures properly.
