Default RE: Flat Clear


ORIGINAL: Deno48

I have a couple of planes that are rather shiny. I read a lot about people painting such planes with 'Flat Clear'. Can any of you please advise what this actually is and perhaps where to buy this in the UK

Thanks

Deno
Hey Deno,

Not sure on product names or suppliers in your area but go for either a automotive acrylic or a two pack product. Both products you add a flattening agent to get the required finish and both are non yellowing. Over time an oil based clear will yellow so steer clear of that. As previous posts have mentioned just dust on light coats and build up the coating. I have the two pack flattened on my mig and its bullet proof in terms of durability and is flat as.

Kind Regards
Levi
