Getting excited & making jokes about dropping Nepalm on little Asian Children in a Viet' village doesn't make it ok just because 'it's wargaming & not real'. You wanker scum need to look again at the real photographic horror of such chemical weapons. Seriously Disgusting mind set amongst some you.

Thanks for the most recent info, fellas!

This made me check Amazon, and they list some cans as being available again, though it is 11-15 bucks for a 3 ounce can instead of the 5 it used to be, and it looks like limited quantities.

Maybe if Testors is going leaner by eliminating other lines, they might start producing dullcote again. One can dream...

I have half of one can left, then it's time to review all the options.

Clach Umha -

I don't have an airbrush, but I have been considering it. Thanks for the information and options!

If you Google ‘Model Shops UK’ you should be able to find a replacement; for example Alclad matte varnish,which is excellent as is all their stuff. The Airbrush Company is also good. However I’ll leave the work up to you as I am in Australia  :)

Try Montana "Gold" spray paint clear "Varnish Matt": I used it next to Testors and it works just the same, but comes in normal 400ml cans so it's much cheaper. I think it's number T1010 in their range but I'm not sure.

Just picked up a can of Colour forge matt varnish from Partizan & it’s just as good if not better than the old Testors stuff.

A quick picture below taken in natural light within 5 minutes of spraying 


I wasn’t sure that I believed the guy selling it, but I do now  lol
