I have some Mig lucky Matt varnish, but it’s for an air brush, I assume I could lightly paint it on? My model is tarnished anyway now, some I’m using it for testing weathering etc.

Thanks Ratch, I panicked and tried to paint over it but may if made the paint job worse, I may need a few coats, I could also try to weather it,

So I finally got around to building a Tiger 1, I took my time and was very pleased with my build and hand painting however I decided to seal the paint with Humbrol acrylic Matt varnish spray, on my return a day later I noticed lovely desert tank had almost turned white and had an almost bleached look! What did I do wrong?

I remember many years ago, my unit was celebrating our new gate guardian which was a Dakota painted with invasion stripes. One of the veterans said he and many others had been tasked to paint the stripes with a brush and tins of paint at the last minute and with so many “Daks” to paint they had no time for nice straight lines.

Hi Ratch, thank you for your replay.

Hi All I am new to the hobby, after reading a number guides on painting/varnishing I am still a little confused. I plan to hand paint with Arcrylic,apply a gloss varnish, apply decals, weather with enamel and varnish again with Matt/Satin. I believe I need to use the opposite varnish to the paint, my confusion is which type of varnish to use (Arcrylic /Enamel) and when? Maybe I’m missing a step or over thinking it all.
