Spraycan varnish is fine as long as you follow the instructions.

I usually either spray or dip in gloss, then spray matt when it is dry.

Paint on varnish is also fine but tedious if you are doing a large number of figures

Spraying is always better for vehicles, of course.

If you use aerosol sprays, I highly recommend Testors Dulcote. I've tried a few, but nothing else works as well, nor as consistently. Gloss varnishes tend to be less finicky, so I'll usually go for a middleground - something bigger and cheaper, but still from a trusted brand (Krylon, Rust-Oleum, etc.).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425291/3830364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425291/3830364.page GMT

With an airbrush varnish you can even utilize strategic varnish coats during the paint job without any negative effect to the end product. For example, gloss varnishes allow for some neat paint chipping techniques, enhance the flow of washes and pigments, and allow you to use various techniques involving spirits without damaging the underlying paint job. Matt varnishes allow for easier application of weathering powders and enhance drybrush techniques.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425291/3836696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425291/3836696.page GMT
