Help with Vallejo Matt Varnish

[IronKobra]

Howdy Y'all.

I have been painting up a model, I have almost finished... I used my airbrush and put a layer of vallejo gloss varnish down as a base layer, and then intended to put a layer of matt varnish down to dull down the shine... I have done this before on another model and it worked fine, but this model is still overly glossy... Any tips/ideas?

As you can see, this is after 2 attempts of putting down a matt layer from my airbrush and it is still pretty glossy ¬¬

Did you try to shake your Varnish? I have the same problem with citadel black wash, it was really glossy. My friend told me to shake it hard before use and it worked.

As mentioned by Marcus, shake, shake and skake it... Never enough shaking!

Ive had similar problems with Vallejo matt varnish, and have sometimes had better results using matt medium.

Buy a can of Testor's Dullcoat. Spray onto effected model. BOOM! Instant super matt finish. Re-gloss any desired glossy areas with brush on gloss varnish.

* Make sure to VIGOROUSLY shake the Testor's stuff before use, and spray in short sweeping bursts allowing each layer to dry completely before continuing in a VERY WELL ventilated area.
