Matt Varnish problem

I've never used either of those products before.  With other matte finishes such as Testors Dullcoat or Future+Tamiya Flat Base, glossiness can occur if the stuff isn't mixed up well enough.  Spraying too heavy a coat can also glossiness.

Yep was bad mixing on my part, although theVallejo matte seems to have lots of little bits of wax type matter inside the bottle, I mixed and shook the Xtracrylics matte and it went on perfectly, as shown on my Sherman build in the armour section.
