If it is the x21 flat base you mean then it it not a flat coat at all but is designed to be mixed with gloss the give a flat/ semi flat finish.

The Pollyscale line is discontinued. Once they are all sold out, no more is coming.

Sorry I forgot this, but Testor's acryl line has a flat acrylic clearcoat that you won't have to mix.

I have used Tamiya's flat base with Future with some success, but you'll want to experiment with the ratios on a a scrap piece of plastic in order to get it the way you'll like.

Flat coat
Posted by sarge on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 7:28 PM

I am about ready to finish a Centurion with an airbrushed flat coat.  Except, I cannot use enamel or lacquer based products due to the smell and VOC's.  I've read on other forums that one part Tamiya flat base can be mixed with 3 parts future to achieve a flat finish.  Otherwise, the Tamiya FB goes chalky on its own.  Can anyone verify this and are their other products out there that can be used as non-volatile flat coats.
