For a dead-flat final surface, AK190 Matte Varnish provides 60 ml of water-soluble acrylic coating. The odourless, non-toxic formulation can cover a model by brush and is equally suitable for airbrush delivery. Its handling is straightforward, but the full drying period still needs to be included in the painting schedule.
Mix the contents thoroughly whenever the bottle is opened for use.
Choose a conventional brush or spray the coat with an airbrush.
Reduce the consistency using AK712 Acrylic Thinner if needed.
Plan on 12 hours before the varnish is completely dry.
The stated finish is dead flat on the treated area.

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.
