Varnish VALLEJO Titans Gloss Transparent Vanish - clear gloss protective finish

VALLEJO Titans Gloss Transparent Vanish is a clear gloss varnish formulated to provide a protective finishing coat for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. The product creates a transparent glossy layer that seals paints and decals, increases surface durability and enhances visual shine without altering original colours. It is suitable for use with brush application or airbrush/spray formats depending on the chosen container and modeler preference.

Advantages

This transparent gloss varnish offers a durable, fast-drying finish that maintains detail and texture on small-scale surfaces. It produces a uniform high-gloss appearance that resists handling wear and protects underlying paint layers and decals. The formula is compatible with common model paints and dries to a clear, non-yellowing surface when applied according to instructions.

Suitable for

• Finishing and protecting scale models and miniatures
• Sealing decals and transfers on model surfaces
• Providing a glossy topcoat for display pieces and dioramas
• Creating high-gloss effects on hobby crafts and small painted objects

Key specifications

• Finish: high gloss clear
• Application methods: brush or spray (depending on product format)
• Drying behavior: fast-drying at room temperature
• Compatibility: suitable over acrylic formulations and standard hobby paints
• Effect: transparent protective layer that enhances shine and durability

How to use

Apply the varnish over fully cured paint and decals. If using the brush-applied version, stir gently before use to ensure uniform consistency and apply thin, even coats to avoid runs and pooling. For spray or airbrush formats, follow the manufacturer’s guidance for nozzle distance and pressure; apply multiple light passes rather than a single heavy coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before handling the finished model.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and protect surrounding surfaces. Test the varnish on a spare piece or hidden area to confirm compatibility with the paints and decals used. For optimal gloss and durability, apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat and allow sufficient curing time before final display or handling.
