Matte Craft Varnish Army Painter AW2003P Grey 100 ml

The Army Painter Matte Craft Varnish AW2003P Grey 100 ml is a water-based acrylic varnish formulated to provide a non-reflective, uniform matte finish for miniatures, scale models and hobby projects. Supplied in a 100 ml spill-proof dropper bottle, this varnish is suitable for airbrush application and brush-on use, delivering an even protective layer that reduces surface shine and helps unify painted tones while resisting light wear and handling.

Advantages

This grey matte varnish produces a consistent non-glossy surface that evens out colour transitions and reduces unwanted specular highlights. Its water-based, non-toxic formulation is compatible with acrylic paints and is designed to pass cleanly through airbrushes for a smooth coat. The dropper bottle format allows controlled dispensing, limiting waste and spill risks during hobby work.

Suitable for

• Protection of painted miniatures and wargaming figures
• Sealing and unifying finishes on scale models and dioramas
• Applying a matte tone layer or reducing shine on hobby projects
• Airbrush and fine brush varnishing of small parts and accessories

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform consistency. For airbrush application, strain if necessary and dilute according to airbrush type and nozzle size using water or a recommended thinner; test spray on scrap material to set flow and pressure. Apply thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between passes to prevent pooling. For brush application, use thin layers and avoid overworking the surface. Allow full drying before handling or applying additional layers.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and protect work surfaces. Store the bottle tightly closed and upright to prevent contamination and spills. When airbrushing, start with low pressure and multiple light passes to achieve a smooth, even matte coat; if brush-matting, use soft, fine brushes and avoid heavy strokes that can create brush marks. Keep out of reach of children.
