AK Interactive Real Colors - Satin Varnish 17ml. (RC802)

Matt looks flat and gloss looks like plastic — satin is the sheen that actually looks like paint, and this Real Colors Satin Varnish from AK Interactive is built to deliver it cleanly through an airbrush. It's a lacquer-based formula rather than a standard acrylic, so it flows smoothly, dries fast and locks in whatever's underneath — weathering, decals, layered coats — without disturbing a thing.

Best for

• Sealing finished aircraft, vehicle and figure paintwork
• Protecting decals and weathering effects from handling and chipping
• Unifying mismatched matt and gloss coats into one even sheen

Thin it with Real Colors thinner and lay down a light, even coat once the model's fully dry, and you get a tough, tactile finish that shrugs off being picked up, based and actually gamed with.

Comes in the same 17ml bottle as the rest of the range, so it's worth keeping a Gloss and Flat alongside it — see the full AK Interactive Real Colors range for the rest of the lineup.
