Topcoats are protective barrier layers applied to a finished artwork to provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, water, and environmental elements. Golden Artist Colors offers various topcoat products, including Golden MSA Varnish, Golden Hard MSA Topcoat, and Gel Topcoats with UVLS (Gloss and Semi-Gloss). These topcoats can be used to add texture, modify sheen, and provide a clear barrier for subsequent paint or materials. They are fully compatible with Golden Acrylic Colors, Mediums, Gels, and Pastes, and can be blended with these products in any proportion. However, it's essential to follow proper application guidelines and take necessary precautions, such as using proper ventilation and personal protective equipment, to ensure a successful and durable topcoat layer.
