According to their website the Polyurethane varnish from Vallejo needs 24h even between layers to dry, and 2 layers would be enough. And it shouldnt need to be thinned with 0.5 (as they say). Vallejo one also comes in bigger bottles too

@MrAcuta73 9 месяцев назад

AK seems way more flat than matte. Is it bad? No...but the Vallejo is definitely matte Vs flat.

@brockbeckstedt6483 9 месяцев назад

AK is the winner that's my opinion.

@Avalanche523 9 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed your testing of the AK and Vallejo matte varnishes , I hadn't had any knowledge of the varnishes, thank you.

@Abominus69 9 месяцев назад

Would have liked to see some durability tests. The AK I can almost rub off with my fingers sometimes, which doesn’t help people who play games with their models. I can’t get varnishes to spray well as a smooth finishing coat for some reason, so brush instead.

@ErgonomicChair 8 месяцев назад

I have honestly stopped using any varnish at all... it just ends up ruining paintjobs and results I enjoy, and I have rubbed the living HECK out of acryllic paint trying to get it to come off some 40k figures and it won't budge. Even scrapign it with an exacto takes a little bit of work so I've stopped varnishing anything that's not Metal... Resin seems to hold pretty decent even, though I am kinda tempted to varnish them just incase. I've seen some paint flakin goff FW resin, but, I never cleaned them off before painting them haha. Istripped and am repainting them now.

I'm using vallejo ultra matte and I love it. but the vallejo's gloss is not that glossy. I thin it using vallejo thinner and they worked well.

@allanlowe9346 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the vid Robert. Not so sure that "Ultra" matte is any flatter than just normal matte but IMO the AK wins. I like that red you are working on . At 17:00 in the vid it looks quite like a favourite Nissan colour Katsuma Orange. Don't get stuck in the snow

@CharlieHague-m8u 9 месяцев назад

Informative test. I don't normally use a matte much, however, now I am building some of my aircraft kits, I think those could be very useful. I did try some Mod Podge matte tonite and was very happy with the results. I brushed on a medium coat and after it dried, I was impressed at how well it dulled the paint. I brushed it over Colorshots Gloss Yellow, and wow was it matte. Maybe that could be another test ( the Mod Podge series) sometime in the future. I am curious how well it can be sprayed thru an airbrush.

@goforitpainting 9 месяцев назад

Cool as always 👍

@TheGreySpectrum 3 месяца назад

I personally think there's a huge difference between these two. The AK Ultra Matt is significantly better at being a true matte finish, whereas the Vallejo retains their long-standing issue of their matte paints and varnish being a little more satin than their competitors. More matte than they used to be, though, so I'll give them that.

@KingBronzeL 9 месяцев назад

The airbrush of yours that I bought SHOULD be getting in within 40 minutes...I hope. I am looking forward to it and I love seeing your videos. Keep up the awesome work.

Awesome lookin red, excited to see the other colors yall are cookin. IMHO I would say the AK edged out over the Vallejo(rarely do I find myself saying that😅). My experiences with Vallejo varnishes have been mixed. Great test, always awesome to see water based paint on here😁 Happy New Year and have a good weekend yall✌🏽

@iamaraindog385 9 месяцев назад

I assume the new line of paints you're working on are enamel/lacquer instead of acrylic? Both the red and that blue-black were nice looking.

@dethscythe7734 9 месяцев назад

Good Review. What did you use for your final clean out with the Vallejo? I mean when you were finished airbrushing. Also, what should you use to clean out acrylic alcohol with?

@barbatosrex9473 9 месяцев назад

I use hot water brewed from my coffee maker. You can use rubbing alcohol to clean alcohol based acrylics but not for Vallejo

@AsimPaints 9 месяцев назад

I love Vallejo Polyurethane as a protective coat while painting. Once it cures, it takes a lot to rub it off even with vallejo thinner, so while painting if I make a mistake, I can confidently just rub it off using thinner and the prior paint layer will remain safe. It thins with vallejo thinner, so it's not a permanent layer and you can rub it off and the paint layer underneath if you're not careful. Also, for a couple dollars more than the 60ml AK, you get a 200ml bottle of Vallejo which is the best value by far.

@brandonstubbs85 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried mixing the Vallejo and AK ultra matte varnishes? I've been using a 1-to-1 mix on some of my minis, and it goes on really smooth, but I'm a little paranoid about mixing acrylic and polyurethane varnish

@ThomasSykesmegabasshead 9 месяцев назад

I am having a hard time mixing Mr.Clear Color GX 105 Clear Pink……for some odd reason its not mixing well with the thinner (the paint tends to clump together no matter what type of thinner I use) I could really use some assistance, please!!!!

@infernalsaxon 9 месяцев назад

Got an idea for you, gonna try it myself. Prime some labels or stickers in 2 or 3 colors. Then paint on the color of the bottle or jar it will be going on. Saving space and giving an idea of how it will look at a glance.

@dorsk84 9 месяцев назад

That blue color is perfect for a Freedom Gundam. I woundering how this would look over plain plastic. Cause with my really old models that need painting, the newer models don't "need" to be painted.

@viper29ca 8 месяцев назад

Vallejo Air Brush thinner to thin any Vallejo product.

@roberthenderson2580 8 месяцев назад

I like the flatness of the AK but I only use it in places where it won't get much handling. It's fragile and will rub off with your fingers.

@busterscustoms 9 месяцев назад

@jasoncombs3232 9 месяцев назад

You need to do a scratch test. Spraying flat directly on paint actually make the paint easier to scratch. On gundams its a big deal. Thats why its best to spray a gloss coat first to protect the paint. Gloss adds the best protection. Id like to see a scratch test without a gloss coat.

@jellyropes 6 месяцев назад

Do you know of any videos where they do that? Things like scratching or spilling things on top of the varnished, cured piece and showing how well it resists staining?

@FTWBIFY6667 9 месяцев назад

That red is nice 👍🏻 like a red bronze

@chnblc 9 месяцев назад

@chnblc 9 месяцев назад

@@barbatosrex9473I had a special varnish made for musou black, but I still could not achieve the result I wanted. There is no brightness, but the black color turns to gray. I think there must be a solution to this.

@barbatosrex9473 4 месяца назад

Not sure what fuzzed up means but keep in mind the GW is one of the worst clears I've ever used

@jellyropes 6 месяцев назад

So, which performs better? Which would be a better varnish to protect the work during staining, so you can wipe off what you don't want left behind?

@barbatosrex9473 6 месяцев назад

Both are so similar that I would just get the one that's easiest for you to find

@ThomasSielaff 9 месяцев назад

@infernalsaxon 9 месяцев назад

I believe i saw a couple of ways to replicate gaia prism blue black. The first comes from createx's RU-vid channel, a video called murdered candy. The second comes from a short. Add 20% gloss black to Mr. Crystal saphire blue. When I rebuild my airbrushing area, i will give them a go myself. Anyone else want to give it a whirl?

@MisterTingles 8 месяцев назад

I've only used the Vallejo one as brush on, it doesn't give me an ultramatt finish compared to something like GreenStuffWorld's, but it's way more durable even with one coat, and still a nice matt varnish if nothing else. Also levels pretty good, but gets tacky quite quickly.

@rindarusdi 8 месяцев назад

What better for vallejo, is available in my country. because i dont know how paint shipping as it categorized as "liquid", the customs and taxes, made it so much harder to just buy a few paint overseas. The brush test is really promising for me to start painting my kits, thanks for the vids!

@Fridelain 2 месяца назад

I am told we should avoid PU because it yellows with age.

@MrSakatumi4637 9 месяцев назад

Another great video! I've had AK ultra varnish gloss (same bottle) for a while, tried to spray it few times and it drove me mad, always separated into drops in surface. I just gave up on it. Vallejo on the other hand is the same as that polyurethane you tested a while ago- it was test which gloss varnish doesn't dull chrome paint. For polyurethane varnishes they recommend thinning with their airbrush thinner 50/50 mix, so that should work, it is the same one, listed in same type of varnish on their website, just smaller bottle, and probably higher cost per ml :). Thanks for another great video!👍

@cygnus_x1 9 месяцев назад

@thehazmatguy480 8 месяцев назад

Interesting! I'm not a Vallejo user but I'd give this a try.

@socko47 8 месяцев назад

Try using a hair drier on those labels to soften the adhesive…then try peeling them off. Some labels need just a moment of heat and others have to get quite hot before peeling! Occasionally this doesn’t work, it depends on the adhesive and how long it has been in place.

I've read and seen good things about both primers, I'm a little stuck on what to use for the "engine" black. My father used to use flo-quil but now that they are out of business we haven't painted a lot. Recently, we have been trying to figure out how to weather with acrylics so that is the only exposed we have to them. They are sort of a new beast for us. Would a laqucer paint like Mr Color or Tamiya or acrylic like Vallejo be better than the other particularly for brass? @@barbatosrex9473
