Review: Fantastic Product - Worked like a charm. Smooth, even, coats that preserve the detail on the figures. I’ve seen complaints about clumping, but I think people aren’t reading the directions. Every time I use it, I shake the can back and forth clockwise/counter clockwise for the full minute suggested and I’ve had zero issues. Will buy again!
Review: Excellent Product - Excellent coverage. Excellent adhesion. Be advised: it does lay the paint on thick if you get too close to the mini. $10 less than the citadel at time of purchase and honestly a better product. More satin than flat, I would say but still a deep rich black. I like the satin because it picks up highlights more, but if you're looking for a super flat flat, this is not the one.

## Features

- 🧙 UNIQUE FORMULA - This anti-shine acrylic varnish is truly unique and has been tailored to remove the shine and glossy look of any models being dipped in Quickshade or painted, using conventional paints. Although really matt, the spray’s original formula retains the metallic shine from Plate Mail and Metallics Warpaints.
- 🧙 ACRYLIC, NONTOXIC - This Army Painter varnish is Acrylic based, matte and dries very quickly
- 🧙 APPLICATION - Always let the Quickshade dry for minimum 48 hours before using this varnish and apply it in a thin coat. Never spray in humid conditions and cold weather. Test on a model first before spraying the whole army.
- 🧙 BORN FROM GAMING – The Army Painter is the brainchild of wargaming and painting veterans of many years Bo Penstoft and Jonas Færing – We wanted to produce the paints and accessories that could have carried us all the way from the level of novice to experienced painters and gamers when we first started out. Our aim is to help you get awesome painted models on the table, and still get more time for Gaming

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff! Easier than painting primer on and looks better
*by K***B on January 21, 2026*

I started painting minis by using paint on black primer for awhile. Eventually decided to try this and it's a way better option! Very important to shake it for a minute or so and spray out before using on minis. I spray from above and find the consistency of the primer coat is so much more even then when I did it by hand. It's easy to miss spots, so I'll check the mini from all angles before moving on. Good for dark characters and shadow layer in slapchop style.
