After using Army Painter Quickshade, instead of spaying Dulcoat can you instead just paint on some Matt Medium to get rid of the shine? I have read a lot problems with frosting or a film appearing on the figure from spray. I think I would just rather paint it on if it will work the same. Thanks |

That is exactly what I do and no problems at all. |

Me too, brush on is much safer

I just recently started using brush on matt varnish and I now prefer it over the spray. Much easier to work with, and no frosty minis! |

I use quick shade followed by Dullcoat for many years and have had no problems. You must allow a min of 48hrs (72 particularly for metal colours) to completely dry your finished painted figure. Use Quickshade and then another 48-72 hours to completely dry prior to spraying Dullcoat. The longer wait between sessions the better. Also, you must spray Dullcoat in low humidity conditions. |

Frosting can happen because of humidity or if the can is almost empty. Also, never use spray paint below a certain temperature. You can leave the cans in 100F water for a bit in the winter to ensure paint is warmer. You also want what you are painting to be at least 60F and left in warmer environment if possible to dry. I actually am finding that unless I am doing a huge amount of figures, I prefer brush priming too. |

I have been using the small war paints versions of the dipping gunk. Much easier to use and you just varnish afterwards as normal. |
