Reply To: Airbrushing Varnishes

Absolutely yes. Since I have an airbrush I have not spent a penny anymore on rattlecans either for priming or varnishing. The results are much better and the cost largely inferior. Plus you can varnish inside and do not have to worry about frosting anymore. You can also use varnish more often as a save point to seal the work done so far before attempting a trickier stage or for other purposes, like adding decals (after a gloss varnish) or using oil pin washes (gloss or satin varnish) and finishing everything with a matt varnish. My go to varnishes are Vallejo Polyurethane Varnishes. Consider that a 200ml bottle comes around 20ish euro and has lasted me a couple of years. I paint in average 3 to 5k miniatures per year. You can do the math…
