                        I need a high quality flat coat, and I like the Alcad paints because theyre ready to airbrush and so far Ive had no problems with them. Sprue Brothers just got some of their flat coat and matte coat (I dont understand the difference?) and I was wondering if anybody has tried it yet or has another suggestion for a really, really flat coat. I personally dont trust spray cans as much as an airbrush.

                        Can't help you with you first question but...

                        Matte is slightly less flat than flat. This question comes up every once in a while...I suggest visiting a store that sells paint and pick up one of their sample cards that shows the different finishing sheens from Glossy to Flat...
