My Krylon matt spray turned white when I sprayed some figures. Does anyone know what causes this ? |

High humidity? Insufficient mixing? |

Put then in a warm place and let them dry. And then respray them light coats it will go away. Hope this helps |

Sometimes it goes away. Has never worked for me. I wiped out an entire W.W. I French platoon, painted mustaches and anything, by hitting it with dull coat on a misty early morning. Never did that again, I wait til humidity is around the Gobi Desert levels before I apply dull coat to anything now. |

Ahh, the misting. let dry, and then paint on with a brush a different matt varnish and it should improve a lot. It happened to me with the army painter mat spray, and then I went over it with brush on Vallejo Matt varnish and it looked a lot better. (now I only use the Vallejo) |

I've found that using a heavy coat causes that sometimes. I paint in my basement, so maybe a little dampness too. Very light coats tend to keep that from happening. |

It's likely humidity. Winter is always a better time to spray. Better yet, use brush on matte media like Liquitex. |

I spray only above 50 degrees in the sun. Thankfully I live in Colorado. Drier less humidity also. |

I was spraying in my basement, and it was a little humid, but this was never a problem before, but I did put on a heavier spray than usual. I think I will repaint them and redo the shading and matt spray. |
