I am now planning to set up an experiment.   Take a sheet of styrene. And put patches of the different paint lines both solvent and water.   Then just cover it in both water based minwax and solvent based and see what happens

I have not used minwax water slouable products, but I have not been happy with Vallejo's flat finish. It is one of the rare disappointments in the Vallejo line of products.

Maybe Minwax is worth a look.

Has anybody used minwax water based acrylic gloss and flat varnish instead of vallejo's versions?   It would be cheaper and right now easier for me to get.   Or is it experiment time To see if it would work?
