Stuntflyer Posted April 24, 2014 #1 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I have been using Badger water based acrylic paints on my Longboat build. I find that the finish has a little too much gloss. Is there another finish that can be applied over it that will remove the gloss? Maybe I should have been using a different paint technique to start with. Thanks!

augie Posted April 24, 2014 #2 Posted April 24, 2014 I've had good success with Testor's Model Master Flat Clear acrylic. It comes as a brush on but I hear it's also available as a spray on. Sometimes goes by the name of 'Dullcoat'.

MEDDO Posted April 25, 2014 #4 Posted April 25, 2014 I don't know about that specific brand of paint but I have buffed with 0000 steel wool to dull the finish a bit. Sometimes that works a bit.

Stuntflyer Posted April 25, 2014 Author #5 Posted April 25, 2014 Michael, I tried that but the area I'm working on makes it hard to get the 0000 into the crevasses.
