New to Airbrushing question?

Would it be because the base paint isn't available in satin only matt?

Most likely.

I should've been more accurate in my question, sorry.....
The varnish in question is to be added to the base colour, and I wasn't sure why.

I wouldn't add varnish to the base coat as it will reduce the covering power of the paint. Just paint the model and then varnish it after.
