{"product_id":"nightworks-acrylic-varnish-and-hard-coat","title":"NightWorks Acrylic Varnish and Hard Coat","description":"\u003cp\u003eA varnish coat is what turns a painted model into a finished one: it locks down decals, evens out the patchy sheen you get from mixing brush and airbrush work, and protects the paint from handling. This NightWorks range is water-based acrylic, so it thins and cleans with water and does not attack the underlying acrylic layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrush or Airbrush\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle in the range sprays straight from the bottle through an airbrush and also lays down cleanly with a soft brush. Thin lightly with water if you want a finer mist. Because it is water-based, cleanup is a rinse rather than a solvent bath, which matters if you varnish often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGloss is the coat to lay down before decals: a smooth surface kills silvering. Semi-matt is the natural stopping point for a lot of civilian subjects and gunpla. Matt is the standard flat coat for military and scale subjects. Top Matt pushes further into dead flat for weathered armor and dioramas, and Flat Matt sits between the two for a soft, even sheen with no shine at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuper Hard Coat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNR009 is a different product from the varnishes: a gloss coat formulated to cure hard and resist scratching. Use it on parts that get handled, on clear canopies, or as a durable base under polishing and buffing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five varnishes come in 60ml bottles. Super Hard Coat comes in a 35ml bottle. Recommended for ages 14 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NightWorks","offers":[{"title":"All 6 Products (Best Value)","offer_id":53406841602337,"sku":null,"price":113.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss 60ml","offer_id":53402791706913,"sku":"14:200006153","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Semi-Matt 60ml","offer_id":53402791674145,"sku":"14:200006152","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matt 60ml","offer_id":53402791641377,"sku":"14:200006151","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Flat Matt 60ml","offer_id":53402791772449,"sku":"14:200006155","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Top Matt 60ml","offer_id":53402791739681,"sku":"14:200006154","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Super Hard Coat 35ml","offer_id":53402791805217,"sku":"14:200006156","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1374\/4527\/files\/961cd93fc973b198d30c37b5e6b15837.webp?v=1787847289","url":"https:\/\/hobbyisthaven.com\/products\/nightworks-acrylic-varnish-and-hard-coat","provider":"HobbyistHaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
