Professional Clear Coat Systems for Scale Models

Clear coats and varnishes represent the final critical step in achieving professional-quality scale model finishes, protecting painted surfaces while establishing the precise sheen level that defines authentic appearance. This comprehensive collection from Vallejo provides complete clear coat solutions spanning acrylic and polyurethane formulations, brush-on and airbrush applications, and spray delivery systems across gloss, satin, matt, and ultra-matt finish options. Whether sealing delicate decals, unifying multi-paint finishes, creating depth through gloss coats before weathering, establishing authentic flat finishes on military vehicles, or achieving the high-gloss perfection demanded by automotive show models, these professional-grade varnishes deliver consistent, predictable results across all modeling scales and subjects. The collection addresses every clear coating scenario from small detail work requiring 17ml bottles through production finishing operations utilizing economical 200ml and 400ml formats.

Acrylic Varnish Systems

Vallejo acrylic varnishes provide water-based clear coating solutions offering rapid drying times, easy cleanup, and excellent compatibility with acrylic paint systems. The core acrylic varnish line in 60ml bottles includes Gloss Varnish for high-shine finishes on automotive models and polished metal surfaces, Matt Varnish for authentic flat finishes on military vehicles and weathered aircraft, and Satin Varnish for the subtle sheen of natural metal finishes and semi-gloss paint schemes. These formulations apply smoothly by brush for detail work and small areas, drying to durable, non-yellowing finishes that protect underlying paint and decals from handling and environmental exposure. The 17ml Model Color varnish variants in gloss, matt, and satin finishes provide economical options for occasional use and testing finish levels before committing to larger applications. Premium Airbrush Color varnishes in 60ml bottles deliver optimized formulations specifically engineered for airbrush application, featuring reduced viscosity and enhanced flow characteristics that eliminate orange peel texture and ensure uniform coverage across large surfaces. The 400ml acrylic spray varnishes in gloss, matt, and satin finishes introduce aerosol delivery for rapid coverage of large models, dioramas, and production finishing scenarios where airbrush setup proves impractical.

Polyurethane Varnish Technology

Vallejo polyurethane varnishes represent advanced clear coat technology delivering superior durability, chemical resistance, and optical clarity compared to acrylic formulations. Available in 18ml, 60ml, and 200ml sizes across gloss, satin, matt, and ultra-matt finishes, these solvent-based varnishes create exceptionally hard, scratch-resistant surfaces ideal for competition models, museum displays, and builds subject to frequent handling. Polyurethane Gloss Varnish achieves mirror-like clarity perfect for automotive finishes and polished surfaces requiring maximum depth and reflection. Polyurethane Satin Varnish replicates the subtle sheen of eggshell and semi-gloss paint schemes common on naval vessels and commercial aircraft. Polyurethane Matt Varnish delivers authentic flat finishes on military subjects while maintaining superior durability compared to acrylic matt varnishes. The innovative Ultra-Matt Polyurethane Varnish creates extremely flat, non-reflective surfaces ideal for modern stealth aircraft, special operations vehicles, and subjects requiring absolute elimination of surface sheen. The Clear Base formulation provides transparent medium for creating custom varnish mixtures and adjusting finish levels between standard gloss, satin, and matt options. These professional polyurethane systems integrate seamlessly with surface preparation techniques from our Putty and Polishing collections, while masking products from our Masking collection enable selective varnish application for multi-finish effects, creating comprehensive finishing workflows that achieve exhibition-quality results across aviation, naval, armor, and automotive modeling subjects at all skill levels.
