## Description

This is a high quality product to apply both with brush or airbrushgives a matte tone and superb matte fi nish on any surface.

Review: Perfect matte finish - Amazing matte finish! I'd painted some figures with thin acrylics and they left a gloss sheen. I tried a different brand of matte which was just as glossy as the paint. On a suggestion from a friend, I tried this and what a difference! Knocked all the shine off and gave it beautiful matte finish. Easy to brush or apply by airbrush, well worth the money. Dries quickly and goes a long way.
Review: GREAT product. no thinning needed! strong matte finish, leaves a soft-suede like feel - This stuff is wildly matte. I honestly wasn't expecting it. Once sprayed on (no thinning needed at all!) It dries SUPER fast and is so matte it almost gave my Tamiya F15 a soft suede feel. Overall great product, maybe a little pricey. I might be able to get 3 or 4 models out of this. I seem to have gone through almost 1/4 bottle with doing one coat of it.

## Features

- Use on miniatures from tabletop wargames or model dioramas to create a flat matte finish, protecting your paint job and removing unwanted glossiness
- Can be applied with either paint brush or airbrush--specially formulated for the airbrush
- Water-soluble, odorless, and non-toxic. Best used over acrylic paints
- Effective on Science Fiction, Historical War Time, Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic, and Model Train figurines or models
- Note this is distinct from a simple Matt Varnish, as Ultra Matte offers a greater degree of the flat finish

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many ml?**
A: It is 60ml however the bottle does not say so on the label.  I know this from using it myself and looking it up on the manufacturers website.

**Q: Is this water based? Can it be thinned with water? Does it need more than soap and water for cleanup?**
A: Yes, this is an acrylic matte varnish. I've used it with acrylic cleaners as well as just water to clean it up. Be advised this is about as flat a finish as can be. It's as if all moisture was sapped out of the final color!

**Q: How do you thin this varnish to use with an airbrush?**
A: I use isopropyl alcohol to dilute it. You can use distilled water . The distilled water prevents water stains.

**Q: Why is 1 bottle $12.50 and then if you get 2 bottles it's suddenly $81? and if you get 3 bottles suddenly it's $113 and 4 is $143?  Mistake?**
A: I can’t answer for the price, but I would go with liquitex ultra matte. The 8oz bottle is concentrated and should last you for years. It costs a few bucks more than a single bottle of the AK stuff, and it’s just as good. Mix with distilled water to thin it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great matte
*by D***E on January 29, 2026*

Bought this for when I need matte on some of my piece, and gloss on other parts. (I spray anything that only needs one or the other). It works as exactly as intended.
