Hey ho! If you don't have an airbrush, you can apply a final matte topcoat to your models with rattle-can products and still get excellent results. Enough of you have asked how exactly I apply my topcoats (also called a varnish or clearcoat) with rattle-cans to my builds, so here is a silly little demonstration to put information directly into your GRATE BRANE. It's pretty much the same technique I showed for applying hairspray.

This tutorial is for acrylic matte varnishes ONLY; I can't advise of rattle-can gloss coats as I apply those by airbrush, not rattle-can, and I don't use enamel or lacquer topcoats.
