Glaze Medium equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Glaze Medium outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Monument Pro Acryl equivalent: Monument Pro Acryl White, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Gloss Varnish, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.2).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Light Grey, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 0.2), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- Best Revell option: Revell Silver, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.1), but it is a metallic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- From Scale75: Scale75 Arrogance White, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Chainmail, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.4), but it is an opaque acrylic so treat it as a color reference, not a swap.
Worth knowing before you swap: Monument Pro Acryl White runs slightly darker, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
