If using Vellejo Olive Drab to paint with, would it not help to use a drop of gloss medium?

It has to be covered with gloss anyway for decaling.

Maybe I really don't understand what the gloss medium is for, can someone enlighten me please.

thanks for taking time to teach me.

From what I remember it really is just to make one of their matt paints glossy. I guess if you didn't want to seal with the future coat you could just use the gloss effect with the paint to get a glossy surface.

I find it easier to paint with flat and then top coat with gloss or satin. For some reason the flat flows and covers better and also dries quicker.

Thanks Jeff, I will try it and see if it makes the surface glossy enough to decal.

Thanks, I prefer a nice satin to flat for painting but then that is what I am use to.

I mainly am trying Vellejo products as it seems to be the only paint that is easy to acquire in Canada. Have some AK Primer coming from a Poland Ebay Store to try but have now found a store in Canada that sells the complete line of Vellejo.

Thanks for the replies
