Perfect matte finish
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.

GREAT product. no thinning needed! strong matte finish, leaves a soft-suede like feel
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.

Great matte
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.

Great stuff!
This is the best matte clear I have ever found. It truly takes all the sheen out. Some other flat clears actually provide an eggshell or even a satin finish when brushed on. It actually enhanced the grunge and wear on some clothing on a zombie model I am painting. The first photo is before I applied the matte varnish.

Best matte finish
Solid matte finish. Worked where other matte finishes left a sheen on plastic model.

Fast drying and smooth finish
One of my favorite acrylic matte varnishes. When they say “Ultra Matte” they mean it. Goes on smooth with airbrush with no thinning and dries quickly.

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

Great for mixing with contrast medium to give a matte finish that looks more natural
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!
