## Summary description

VALLEJO Metal Color 26.657 Gloss Metal Varnish is a universal finishing varnish formulated for use with metallic paints and Metal Color ranges. It provides a clear glossy protective layer to enhance shine, protect painted surfaces from handling and light wear, and is suitable for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects requiring a durable gloss finish.

## Long description

VALLEJO Metal Color 26.657 Gloss Metal Varnish is a water-based, non-flammable finishing varnish designed to be used over metallic paints and metal-effect ranges. It creates a clear glossy protective layer that enhances metallic shine while reducing the risk of wear from handling, washes and light abrasion. The product is supplied in a 32 ml / 1.08 fl oz bottle with a flip-top eyedropper closure for controlled application.
Advantages
The varnish forms a durable, transparent gloss film that intensifies reflective properties of metallic pigments without altering the underlying color. Because it is water-based and solvent-free, it is safer for indoor hobby use and compatible with many water-based metallic paint systems. The eyedropper bottle allows precise dispensing and reduces waste during model or miniature finishing.
Suitable for
Scale models and military miniatures with metallic finishes
Figure and vehicle models that require a high-gloss metal look
Hobby and craft projects using metal-effect paints and Metal Color ranges
Touch-ups and protective topcoats after washes and weathering steps
When it may not be suitable
This varnish is formulated specifically for metallic paints and may alter the appearance of non-metallic, matte or delicate finishes where a satin or matte look is desired. It is not intended as a structural adhesive or for surfaces that require solvent-based or high-heat resistant coatings.
Key specifications
Finish: Gloss
Base: Water-based, solvent-free formulation
Volume: 32 ml / 1.08 fl oz
Closure: Flip-top eyedropper for controlled dispensing
Primary use: Protective topcoat for metallic paints and metal-effect ranges
How to use
Ensure the painted metallic surface is clean and fully dry before application. Apply a thin, even layer of the gloss varnish using the eyedropper or a fine brush, avoiding pooling and runs. Allow the varnish to dry completely between coats; additional thin layers can be applied to increase gloss and protection. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow any instructions on the product safety sheet for best results.
What to consider before purchase
Intended finish: choose gloss only if a high-shine metal appearance is required
Compatibility: designed for use with metallic and Metal Color paint systems; test on a small area if using with other paint types
Volume: 32 ml may be sufficient for detailed models but consider quantity for large projects
Usage recommendations
For optimum results, apply sparingly in thin coats and allow full drying between layers. When protecting weathered or washed surfaces, wait until washes are completely set to avoid lifting. Store upright with the cap closed and consult the safety data sheet for handling guidance.
