Hey there guys!

I bought a bottle of Vallejo Satin Varnish for my airbrush and used it on my recent models.
It came out very glossy compared to the GW Purity Seal I used until now.
Yes, I DID shake the Varnish very well, and It's not as glossy as the gloss varnish, so it should be as intended.

My question: If I were to buy the Vallejo Matt Varnish, would it be completely matt? How does it compare to GW's purity seal?

Buy the vallejo matt, then mix with satin to your preferred gloss level.

I personally haven't used the GW purity seal, but have used both the satin and matt varnishes from Vallejo. whilst the matt varnish is a lot less shiny than the satin varnish, you still do get an ever so subtle sheen to it. I generally go with 2 coats of the matt varnish when I use it.
