AK183 Ultra Matte Varnish is a 60 ml acrylic auxiliary for producing a dead-flat finish across a model's surface. Its formula is water-soluble, odourless and non-toxic, with application possible by hand or spray equipment. It is specifically formulated to perform through an airbrush while remaining suitable for conventional brushing.
Spread the varnish directly with a brush or atomise it using an airbrush.
Agitate the bottle before every application so the contents are thoroughly mixed.
Use AK712 Acrylic Thinner when reduction is necessary.
Complete drying requires 12 hours from application.
The cured result removes visible sheen from the coated surface.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
