oops . I forgot...Lovely figures

I shall like I can paint 28mm with this quality, magnificent figurines

I used to paint on matt varnish but found the results a bit too flat. I now paint on Vallejo satin varnish.

I must admit I have always been a matt varnish man myself, but im always willing to give new ideas i things a go.

Lovely figures I do like a bit of big base 28mm here and there

Varnish - I actually rather like the AP matt spray, seems to give good coverage and excellent wear. Feels pricey though...

The price doesn't bother me (well, better if free and all that), it's the inconsistency

Could not get a reliable result

I've inly used two cans so far, and they seem consistent (so far...), certainly as much so as my
Usual GW/Humbrol/Tamiya/Halfords an better by far than the rustoleum...

Where do you spray them?

I have to work outdoors and, barring the 4.5 days of beautiful sunshine we get, the results are erratic.

I reckon AP spray was designed in Saudi Arabia

I spray outdoors too and, barring the odd foolish attempt to spray in the middle of a rain-shower or a gale, get good results every time.

Yeah, I'm crap, I know

General the AP sprays are okay although I have had problems with a can of there base coats ( don't spray down as the paint spots something to do with gravity  )
Also they say shake well what they mean is shake it for about an hour.
but I do like there matt varnish.

Outside for spraying of any sort for me - Mrs Pixie gets very annoyed at the thought of the wee Pixie one breathing in fumes... And tbh it does me no good either!

If it's wet I sometimes use a space in te shed with the doors wide open, or spray with the minis in a cardboard box on it's side with the top open to form a "hide" or improv booth.

Actually, thinking about it the only sprays I've had a frosting problem with we're the AP ones, but a second pass cured that nicely. And it was a very wet and forgotten in the rain moment...

I didn't dare give it a second shot after it frosted; too much work on the line! 

Once frosted, what have you got to lose?!

Any vestige of the detail ; they were, at least, useable.
