Vallejo 62.062 Transparent 60 ml

Vallejo 62.062 Transparent 60 ml is part of the Premium range of acrylic colors formulated for airbrushing and for strong adhesion on surfaces such as fiberglass, polyethylene, polycarbonate, metal and Lexan. The Premium line uses permanent pigments and a hybrid acrylic‑urethane resin to provide high resistance; it includes matt opaque, transparent, metallic and fluorescent shades as well as specific varnishes and auxiliary products. This matt transparent varnish is intended to form a tough protective film after application and is suitable for use on helmets, fuel tanks, surfboards and other surfaces subject to wear and heat exposure.

Advantages

The Premium transparent matt varnish creates a homogeneous, hard film that resists impacts, cracking and direct heat exposure. It is compatible with the Premium paint range and provides additional fuel‑resistance (suitable for applications with up to around 35% Nitro fuel residue in RC use). The formulation allows water-based cleaning of tools and delivers reliable adhesion on primed substrates when applied in successive layers.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing decorative and protective coatings on helmets
• Protective finishing for motorcycle fuel tanks and fairings
• Finishing and protection of models, RC bodies and parts
• Coating fibreglass and composite surfaces such as boards and shells

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for use over properly primed surfaces; it may not adhere well to completely unprepared or dirty substrates. For maximum chemical and mechanical resistance, a final two‑component urethane varnish may be preferable; this matte transparent varnish alone provides high resistance but might be insufficient for industrial or heavy‑duty exposures beyond standard hobby, motorcycle or surfboard use.

Key specifications

• Type: Acrylic‑urethane hybrid transparent matt varnish
• Finish: Matte
• Volume: 60 ml
• Application: Airbrush or aerosol
• Recommended compressor pressure: approx. 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²)
• Dry film: forms a homogeneous hard film after a few hours

How to use

Apply the varnish in successive thin layers over previously primed and clean surfaces. Allow light drying between coats so that the product builds a continuous, resistant film. For best results use airbrush settings around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²). After a few hours the varnish will form a hard protective film; for an especially resistant finish, apply a final two‑component urethane varnish over this layer.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the substrate is cleaned and primed before application
• Consider a final 2K urethane varnish for the highest chemical/mechanical resistance
• Check compatibility with underlying paints and materials (fibreglass, Lexan, polycarbonate, polyethylene, metal)

Usage recommendations

Use thin, successive coats with an airbrush at about 15–20 PSI and clean tools with water; allow adequate drying time between layers and consider a 2K urethane topcoat for especially demanding applications.
