Retouch Spray

[Olivie Inoue]

Iavoid spray re-touch or varnishes like the plague much better to brush it on as you have much more control. Having almost ruined a cherished painting and read horror stories on here of the same (our own dear Nancy Parks most recently, though she saved it wonderfully in the end). Winsor Newton has a liquid brush on retouch varnish in both matte and gloss so you can take a mix of gloss and matte to get it to your liking or even change it for different paintings. I learned the hard way that the finishing touches (signature and varnish) are just as important as the actual painting. Lately I have used Old Holland re-touch and like it quite a bit. After 6 months to a year I typically use Gamvar by Gamblin as my final varnish.

As Bellaskye said, I had a very scary experience with that painting, but I sanded it down and repainted the whole thing. Turned out my granddaughter was crazy about it when I gave it to her for her birthday, so it was worth doing it over.

I have always found the gloss retouch varnish to be a bit too shiny at first, but after a while, it all seems to settle down to a soft, even glow. I have four of my oil paintings hanging in my computer room right now. All were given a light spray of retouch varnish to even out the overall finish after the paintings were completed. They were all too glossy at first, but, after a couple of weeks, I noticed the final finish was a lovely, soft overall glow that I find quite appealing.

Shake bottle thoroughly. Place a towel on the shoulders. Hold the bottle upright and spray by applying soft pressure. Evenly spray onto dry and styled roots with a distance of 10 cm. Color on skin or other surfaces can be removed with soap.

The temporary root cover spray, with microfine mineral cosmetic pigments, instantly covers lighter and grey regrowth in a few seconds. It dries immediately and leaves an even color result, harmoniously blending into hair lengths. The precise spray applicator applies the product only where needed. Washes out in 1 shampoo. Reusable for up to 40 applications.

I have a few paintings that are finished and dried to the touch. Can you recommend a spray retouch varnish that is not tacky? This will be a temporary varnish to bring out the color and until the painting is thoroughly dried and ready for the the final varnish. All of the damar retouch dried to a tacky surface. Thanks

You are so right here, I have never even been close to get a good even look with a can of spray varnish. Ironically, the latest generation of hardware store paint cans can actually paint quite evenly, so maybe it is time to see if the art supplies industries has caught up with times.

Also, varnishes in a professional conservator setting are usually sprayed with an air gun in LVLP setting. That is expensive equipment but produces beautiful results. Take note that the usual hardware store spray guns are HVLP which is NOT equivalent.

I have several really small nicks and major scuffs on my car; the nicks from driving on the highway (flying debris hitting chassis) and the scuffs from two fender benders. The nicks have started to rust and the scuffs are just annoying, so I'd like to get rid of them. A body repair shop charges me for each body piece, so that doesn't make for a good deal. I was wondering if I can resolve it with something like DAP Touch'n'Tone multipurpose spray paint?

You can, but probably not in the way you're thinking. You can't just go out and buy a can of "red spray paint", unless you are prepared to re-paint the whole car in that color or you really don't care about the results. This is because your car isn't "red" (for example), it's "Sierra Red (L D3V)".

However, if you go to a professional paint supply shop you can get them to inject the specific color for your car into a spray can. You can often get "touch up" bottles of paint in the exact color from your dealer.

The rust is another matter though... If it's surface rust, you may be able to get away with just using primer that reacts with and neutralizes the rust, and then paint over that. However, if the rust is "flaking" or working behind other parts of the paint, you're probably going to have to clean that out, for example with a wire wheel on a tool, possibly making the area you have to paint much larger. It's either that or risk having to deal with a larger area (or a hole clean through) later.

These rust-reacting primers, like certain models of Rustoleum, work extremely well in my experience. When I was younger I had a couple of cars that had varying degrees of paint damage near the wheel wells or on the front end, and was very happy with the rust-stopping results of Rustoleum.

You should be able to buy colour-matched automotive spray paint for your car in most larger car-parts shops (in the UK, Halfords sell a wide range, and their larger stores can match considerably more from manufacturer's paint codes).

However, as others have said, it can be very tricky to get a good match as your paint will have faded, and the new will be matched to the original factory colour. You might be able to get away with it by using t-cut or similar to restore the original paint (they effectively work by removing the top layer of the paint, so don't try it too often!), then carefully blending in the new paint, but it's not easy - it depends how good you want the result to look!

Choosing complementary oils, solvents, mediums, and varnishes for your oil painting is as unique as choosing a colour palette. Depending on your style and technique, there are a wide range of traditional oils, mediums, and solvents to help you control your colour as well as varnishes to protect your work and provide a final finish. Used to modify the rate of drying, increase gloss, improve flow or add texture, mediums should be used in moderation as an additive to the colour.

Sealing with a varnish as final step for thoroughly dried artworks, to protect it from the build up of dirt and grease, and the passage of time. Available as sprays or in bottles, and in different finishes.

Ive tried this. The dark brown one because im a brunette It is useless at covering grey roots if your hair is really thick like mine is.

It says not to overspray but with thick hair like mine its useless unless you do.

Yes I have it, I have strawberry blonde hair with just a few grey hairs around my ears and hair line - this covers it nicely but unfortunately makes my head itch like mad (I'm very sensitive to any hair products).

Shake well before use. Remove cap, hold can six inches from hair and press down lightly using steady pressure for diffuse spray delivery, ideal for blending at the root and stray grays. Flip and lock thin nozzle for precision spray delivery, ideal for gray root coverage and to avoid staining your scalp. Let dry. Shake and spray again if needed.

"I repaired some rust holes on a car I am restoring and used your paint and clearcoat for finishing. With the help of your video on paint blending the repairs came out great! I had a quote for north of $1000 to paint the repaired area, I did it myself for under $100, thanks for a great product and paint matching service that allowed me to get professional results for a fraction of what a body shop would have charged!"

"It was so easy I sanded down the project, put 3 coats on letting it dry just a 1/2 hour in between. Then I put on a clearcoat. The paint comes out so smooth, like a wide spray. No drips, matched perfectly with the other colors! Would work great if I purchased enough to do the whole car, seeing that my color is discontinued [by the dealer, not by AutomotiveTouchup]!"
