How do they do that ????

[NADZ]

Well now I've got my lovely satin finish to my bus,I want to keep it like that.Now you see the 50's leadsled's and hot rodder's all in a nice satin or even matt finish.SOOOO how the hell do they get it ?
I've gotta put a topcoat/lacquer on it surely or its just going to rub of.Now when I was younger i used to finish all my wargame figures in satin.Which I could get in large cheep rattle cans.But they have disappeared so that blows that plan.And the paint suppliers only have 2k.....urgh.So anyone got any ideas ?? :roll:

Just add matting agent to the laquer, the more you add, the matter it gets.

I wouldn't have a matt or satin finish, it's not hard wearing like full gloss, it's an arse to clean & dirt gets ground in. You can't polish any marks or scratches out either.

It may sound like a good idea, but in everyday practice it's crap.

Trust me, you will wish you hadn't...
