Hi gang,

I'm currently using vallejo gloss varnish via airbrush, however I'd like to try something that really does spray straight from the bottle as I have to thin the gloss (satin and matt fine)
I've used future in the past and a friend recommended adclad aqua gloss but I'd rather hear your opinions.

Thanks on advance

Del
 
Zero paints clearcoat works well, but it’s lacquer based so not directly comparable to acrylic gloss.
 
Grab some VMS varnish weapon of your choice ie matt semi or gloss straight out the bottle lash it on no really lash it on its brilliant check out their vid on YouTube scary or what but just do as they do fool proof great stuff. Dave

I tried that some time ago after seeing the video and it's not as free flowing as well from either of my brushes.

The matt and satin, fine but the gloss through my iwata isn't free flowing with a 3 and 15 through to 20 psi.

I'll try it again!!!
