I have been using Model Master Interior Black for quite a few years and I
was quite pleased with it . However, in the last couple of years what they
label as FS37031 is actually a semi gloss verging on full gloss. I thought
of a couple of ways of toning down the glossy finish and would like your
comments. What would happen if I blended Model Master dull coat with the
Interior Black? I realize one is a lacquer and the other a enamel but would
they mix. The other thing I thought of doing is to mix talcum powder or baby
powder into the paint to dull it. Would that effect the airbrushing
properties of the paint? All comments will be greatly appreciated. Pete

Why bother mixing anything at all? Why not just paint the cockpit as
normal, without regard to whether the colours turn out matt or gloss. Once
you have finished painting all the sub assemblies, then spray them with your
favourite matt varnish. That's how I do it. I use a couple of mist coats of
Xtracrylix matt varnish at the end and get a perfect matt finish. Anything
that should actually be gloss can be touched in afterwards with a fine brush
and Xtracrylix satin varnish.
