Laurie I AM using gloss paint. Maybe I'm expecting too much. I'm expecting the gloss finish after the varnish, to be glossier than the original gloss paint and it isn't. It's the same - it's just like a protective coating. You refer to decals and yes, the coat is very smooth, but it was before the varnish, with the gloss black paint finish. This, being a car, needs a glossier finsih, at lease in my mind. As you say it's peculier. This is my black spot!\ said:No bother whatsoever Aidan.Light coats are best as otherwise you will get the runs never pleasant !
Vallejo is very understanding it will tolerate a bit of over "doneness" but best not to test the theory. Best thing is to test on a random piece with a number of coats this will give you a clue as to if Vallejo gloss is the thing for you & gives the required gloss. If you need high gloss I wonder if you are better off with gloss paint. Experiment & find out. Be interesting to find you results. Must say your results are peculiar as I have found 2 coats gives a reasonable for decals.
My motto if you are not sure test it.
Laurie
