I thought I remembered an issue with the Sky applied to Blenheims. I've got a bit cross threaded but here is a response from Edgar Brooks."When Bristol got the go-ahead to paint P.R. Blenheims in Sky, they were told to use paint "with reduced gloss," which doesn't sound like matt paint to me."
Adding a matting agent to a standard formula was the 'norm' back then with the paint companies.
It wasn't until they discovered that the Military were quite lucrative markets (after WW2) that development went into the paint formulas.
