Seal is unintuitive garbage. Edit: they changed it, it's good
This is my 5th and final can. Paint is lovely, primes for minis great, but the god damn seal is horrible every other can it's been a nightmare to twist off. This time while trying to use a flathead to twist off the cap (as instructed) I pierced the can and it went all over the patio and all of the paint has now been wasted in a bucket. A fresh can. £11 is steep as is but I can't justify it anymore now an entire can has been wasted and gave me 30 mins of cleanup.ExpensiveNightmare to openEdit: be it my feedback or others the seal got changed to not requiring piercing and paint is lovely, happy days.

Not Matt, more like Satin, dries quick
Decided to give this a try to replace Vallejo Matt which i can't seem to find anywhere right now... unfortunately, while application was flawless and dries really quick, it dries satin. I'm not entirely unset about this, however i really need a super matt varnish. Will keep this in my arsenal until i can find something better.

Life Saver.
I had prepared expensive stock for a Craft Fayre and used another product that claimed to be Matt finish, result..... disaster, horrendous high gloss finish on my very expensive Art items. I complained to the company and got no response.......typical, so, on advice, trawled through Amazon and discovered this product which was a lifesaver. It worked! thank god, which saved me a lot of lost revenue. From now on I will never go for the cheaper version and am in the process of reordering this even though it is slightly more expensive. Thank you The Army Painter.

Great for making custom figures
I use this to coat my custom action figures. It works great and looks great too and offers great protection to acrylic paint.

Great product.
I have always used Testors Dull cote to get a matt finish on models, but not being able to get any at the time, I tried Army Painters equivalent and found it even better giving a superb matt finish. The can gives a fine even spray , it dries quickly and the smell is far more pleasant than Testors. Highly recommended.

WARNING - DO NOT BUY
Absolutely horrible product. I’ve been warned about using Army Painter varnish and I didn’t listen, so now I’m warning you. You’re always advised to shake the can well before use, however I still got the most horrendous frosting even on a mild day. The frosting ruined my model. I thought maybe it was just bad luck, so I shook the can for longer and waited for an even milder day, still caused frosting. Now the spray can won’t even work. I cleaned out the nozzle as advised after each use but now the spray mechanism is broken despite there still being plenty of varnish left. This is a badly made product, do not ruin your models or waste your money like I did.

Not really anti shine?
Don't get me wrong, any protection is better than none but this is marketed as anti-shine matt, and I've found it to be anything but.In my picture, the Oddish on the left is treated and the one on the right isn't.Does that really look like anti shine matt?
