I've been recently getting back into painting, and one of the paints I bought at one point is 'Ardcoat. I cannot remember what purpose I bought this for.
I'm a Nurgle player, so it couldn't have been to replace Nurgle's Rot.

Anybody knows a good use for this paint? It says it creates a shiny effect but I doubt it'd be any good for windows. Any ideas?

It's a gloss. You put it on lenses and things that need a shiny, glassy appearance.

You can also paint 'Ardcoat on before applying transfers then paint over with Lahmian Medium to seal and turn it back matt again.

You should apply a gloss varnish before adding water-slide decals of any type. It helps to avoid "silvering". You can apply other varnish over the top when they are dry to keep them on.

'Ardcoat make shiny. Use when want shiny.
