Anti Shine Matt Varnish for Miniature Painting - Acrylic after Quickshade Protector Spray Varnish for Miniatures, 400ml

I get it. You're wondering what makes this worth 3x as much as a can of Rust-Oleum? In short: it self levels far better (read: less likely to clog details), it DRINKS up acrylic paint, and it gives great coverage (I do recommend two very thin coats still). The white is great for making brighter schemes pop. The black is the obvious choice for keeping recesses dark (free detail). (Er... don't judge the printer by my bad painting... and mold line cleanup.)

Only issue I had with it was when I first got it and it sprayed some extra particles over my first mini. Honestly its my fault I just suggest spraying it for a few seconds before first use. Other than that it spread great and had great coverage. I actually used the whole can and intend to buy a replacement! I let mine dry for 24 hours before painting.

Even though I bought this for my home office, it mostly lives next to my printer and paint rack. I do admin work by day and paint DnD and Warhammer minis after dinner to decompress. I grab an old Amazon box, step out to the balcony, shake this can for a bit, then do quick passes. It goes on smooth and dries fast enough that I can start basecoating before my tea gets cold. I like that the white is bright without looking chalky, so my colors pop more. The night I primed a whole squad between answering work emails I was really glad I had it.

Good paint, but they have issues with the plastic protective cap. There are special instructions for taking the cap on and off. The instructions aren’t on the can. If you treat it like a normal spray can you can break the spray nozzle off. If you get one I suggest leaving the cap off. They did make good and offer me a refund or a replacement can.

Worked like a charm. Smooth, even, coats that preserve the detail on the figures. I’ve seen complaints about clumping, but I think people aren’t reading the directions. Every time I use it, I shake the can back and forth clockwise/counter clockwise for the full minute suggested and I’ve had zero issues. Will buy again!

Works great, dries fairly quickly, and lasts for a good amount of minis. Sometimes struggles to get all the areas of the mini evenly but this is more of a skill issue on my end than on that of the pain. Sprays well, doesn't seem to leak. Smells strongly so I recommend you use it outside. My only real issue with it is that it feels a little overly pricey even for what I got, but I understand production systems play a part and beyond that have no real concerns.

Let's face it, when you put a lot of time into painting a miniature, you are already invested. That much time and effort deserve a good product. I've used Army Painter Quickshade on literally hundreds of miniatures with excellent results. (I tried using stain as a dipping method because it was so much cheaper but I wasn't happy with the results.) Because Quickshade gave such excellent results, I decided to use the partner product "Army Painter Anti-shine". The first can or two was okay, nothing fabulous but it really made the Quickshade look good. After a couple of cans, I got what I thought was a bad can and it sprayed white all over my miniatures. This experience was repeated on three more cans of the product out of four cans over a year or so. I always followed spraying instructions to the letter, but I stored the cans in the garage where I thought they might have been damaged because of extreme temperatures. (I'd had good results in the past, so it seemed logical.) I recently (September 2018) bought one last can, which cost $15 and took a full week to arrive because spray paint has to be delivered by ground. I kept the can in the house for a week until I had proper spraying weather and again, followed the directions to the letter, only to find white residue on newly painted and dipped miniatures. Very disappointing! I remembered that I had an old can of Krylon (clear flat) that was used for a Halloween craft project a couple of years ago in the garage. (Walmart, $4.97 for a 25% larger can... This spray had been exposed to the same elements the Anti-shine cans had.) I decided to try it on one miniature, so I picked one I didn't like as much and ten seconds later, it was perfect. No overspray. No shine. No extra coats. No waiting. Done perfectly at 1/3 the cost! I'm convinced! Anti-shine is simply not a reliable product, particularly for the price point. If you are a haven't tried Quickshade yet, by all means, do so. You won't regret it. It's definitely worth the extra cost, but do yourself, your wallet, and your miniatures a favor and stay away from Army Painter Anti-shine. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Primarily grabbed this for sealing my DnD miniatures after painting at the picnic table by the trailhead. The smell hits harder than I’d like, so I step back and spray with my arm fully out. The coat goes on smooth and clear and my little ranger mini looked great after drying.

Gewohnt gute Qualitlt, sehr ergiebig und schnelltrocknend. Obwohl es deutlich günstigere Alternativen gibt, ist das mein all time Favorit!

This product is good for sprain model kits before you actually pay them and put the detail on. I would highly recommend the spray it was expensive but well worth every penny. I don’t have an example because the kid I got I didn’t buy from Amazon so I can’t show it good luck.

Zum Grundieren von Miniaturen eignet sich diese Grundierung super. Sie lässt sich super einfach auftragen und deckt sofort. Sie fließt auch hervorragend in kleine Vertiefungen ohne diese dabei auszufüllen und die Struktur der Figur zu verdecken. Die im Anschluss aufgetragenen Farben halten sehr gut. Man sieht die Grundierung auch nicht durch, egal ob nach der Grundierung mit dunklen oder hellen Farben gearbeitet wird. Die Grundierung mit dem Spray spart im vergleich zum Pinsel enorm viel Zeit. Ich habe die Grundierung bislang nur auf Kunststoff verwendet zu anderen Materialien kann ich keine Aussage treffen.

The Army Painter is one of the best tools for amateur painter-gamers.

I bought The Army Painter Color Primer in White to prep a black metal piece, and the results are fantastic. The coverage is impressive—it managed to mask the original black surface perfectly. What I loved most was how quickly it dried; it was touch-dry in just a few minutes, which really sped up my project. The finish is smooth and creates the perfect base for the final coat of paint. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional-grade primer
