AK Interactive ultra matte varnish #183

Amazing matte finish! I'd painted some figures with thin acrylics and they left a gloss sheen. I tried a different brand of matte which was just as glossy as the paint. On a suggestion from a friend, I tried this and what a difference! Knocked all the shine off and gave it beautiful matte finish. Easy to brush or apply by airbrush, well worth the money. Dries quickly and goes a long way.

I have been a Testors Dullcote user as my matte varnish brand for years (decades really) I had noticed more recently though, depending on the type of paint/addition I would use, it was leaving more shine than I'd like. It seems to me the old recipe for the matte was changing. I decided to give AK Interactive's Matte varnish a try. It can be used easily through an airbrush, but I like using a brush. After waiting for to dry, I was surprised by how well it worked! Dead flat finish. That was more like the Dullcote for years ago. It really improves the look of my model. With miniatures detail is very small, even a slight sheen of gloss will not allow all the details to be noticed. With a dead flat finish, there is no glare to distract from the colors I've chosen. It just pulls the miniature together more cohesively and is a great benefit to photography as well. AK Interactive is now the only Matte varnish I will use.

I was a bit disappointed in the matte finish provided by Vallejo "Ultra-Matte" varnish, so I figured I'd give this a whirl, and I'm glad I did! Brushes on nicely, and the matte finish is almost like velvet. Be sure to shake it VERY WELL (as with any model matte colors or varnishes). I added a few tiny glass marbles to the bottle to help speed the mixing, but the bottom of the bottle is translucent enough that you can tell it is properly mixed when you can't see any sediment at the bottom.

This was ordered on the recommendations of several people. I have about 6 different "Matte" clear coats. All are acrylic. None of them were actually matte. They all had either a glossy or semi glossy finish. One of those, made by Rustoleum, was matte. But, it could and would strip paint off of a primed miniature. It also tended to dry so quickly you had to wait to recoat, becuse it would peal up the first layer or become cloudy. This AK Interactive is exactly what I was looking for. It dries as a clear Matte. No shine at all. Perfect for my needs. It does what it claims. I won't have to search for anything else. This is it for me. If you paint Miniatures, this is the stuff. Thank you AK Interactive for doing what so many other companies have failed at.

This stuff is wildly matte. I honestly wasn't expecting it. Once sprayed on (no thinning needed at all!) It dries SUPER fast and is so matte it almost gave my Tamiya F15 a soft suede feel. Overall great product, maybe a little pricey. I might be able to get 3 or 4 models out of this. I seem to have gone through almost 1/4 bottle with doing one coat of it.

Bought this for when I need matte on some of my piece, and gloss on other parts. (I spray anything that only needs one or the other). It works as exactly as intended.

I saw a miniature painting tutorial that mentioned mixing this 1:1 with Contrast Medium and painting the mixture over minis when finished painting, then letting dry 20 min before sealing spray, in order to give it a matte finish without "taking the life out" of the mini. It absolutely worked! My mini came out looking much more real than my initial paint job. It's thin but easy to apply and not too drippy. I didn't need much to mix and cover the whole mini. Will definitely be using again!

it’s pretty good for reborns. takes several coats but it’s cheap and available on prime so i rebuy.

Utilisation sur figurined

Ottimo prodotto. Finitura Opaca e uniforme. Per avere il miglior risultato bisogna stendere il colore uniformemente senza insistere troppo sullo stesso punto, ma fare vari passaggi e, solo se necessario, lasciare asciugare e applicare una seconda mano. Utilizzare con aerografo e diluire con un Thinner per colori acrilici (40/60 oppure 50/50) per dare una consistenza leggermente più acquosa che aiuta la stesura e il controllo del flusso dall'aerografo. Consegna puntuale, buon imballaggio

Sehr gutes Mittel! Dünnflüssig milchige Farbe härtet aber klar und matt aus. Benutze es für PLA und Resinmodelle die ich mattieren möchte. Meist auf lackierten Flächen (Acryl) oder auf beschichteten Teilen mit mica Pulver. Empfehle es eher dünn und in mehreren Schichten aufzutragen. Trocknet sehr gut und der mattierungseffekt ist super 👍

Je cherchais un vernis vraiment Mat car la plupart de ceux que j'ai testé avaient un légère brillance. Ce vernis est vraiment très mat et conserve les couleurs d'origine Je l'utilise à l'aérographe sans le diluer : Airbrush : buse 0,4 mm, 20 psi. Couches fines, croisées, à 15–20 cm. Mieux vaut 2–3 voiles légers qu’une couche chargée. Séchage : sec au toucher en ~15–30 min ; laissez 24 h pour une résistance optimale avant manipulations ou masquage. Bref j'ai trouvé mon vernis de référence pour mes figurines en résine.

Really fantastic stuff, I like many others sprayed it over existing matte varnish that came out too shiny, and it really sent it back to flat matte!! Highly recommended product
