Thanks Bob. I was going to give the AK stuff a go, but it seems to be a bit scarce in the UK at present!
.
I stock the full range of AK products, I sold the last ultra matt yesterday but Ammo's Lucky Varnish ultra matt is pretty much the same product. click on the banner top right :thumb2:
I don't know how you are managing this, I made many attempts, shaking for 3 minutes, trying countless thinning ratios - from neat to 70/30 thinner/varnish, and it always had a slight sheen, or eggshell finish. Don't get me wrong, this is good stuff, and I use it quite a lot, but it ain't what I call matt.
Maybe one of us has a slightly different bottle? Or something in the spraying technique? It does seem to have a very slight sheen if sprayed wet. I've never thinned it.

Same here, sprayed straight from the bottle and a nice matt finish, I certainly wouldn't describe it as eggshell??

Ok, I confess that yesterday, I shook it for the best part of 5 minutes, then brushed it over an old model, and it came out fully matt - clear proff, if we needed it, that shaking it means shaking it untill your wrist hurts! On the plus side, my watch is fully wound up now...

John. Why not get a paint shaker? I find mine invaluable, saves a lot of time and hard work. Mine is actually a nail varnish shaker. Google it or find one on Amazon.
