Matt clear coat

[widow71]

Hi,

Quick piece of advice needed.

I have a frame that I have painted and I need to apply a clear coat/lacquer over the paint and decals (Plasti Kote paint). I am after a matt finish not gloss.

Can anyone recommend something, preferably I can buy mail order.

Thanks,

Lewis

If the paint has been left for more than a few days, the paint will need to be 'keyed' again with a very fine abrasve or the clear coat will not adhere. You can get matting agents added to certain paint but not sure about rattlecans.

Have a word with your local...cough..cough.eeggghh.Halfords
and ask if they can add a matting agent to the clear coat they sell.
