Hey all!! I picked up some Polly Scale paints when my LHS went out of bussiness recently. In that batch I got a few bottles of Matte finish and have heard good things. Anyone have a mixture ratio for the stuff? Tha bottle says 10% but just curious!! Thanks in advance.Confused [%-)]

If it's the clear flat acrylic I have heard nothing at all bad about it. A lot of people whose opinions I respect very much say it's the best clear flat going.

As to thinning it, if it's already thin enough to spray why thin it at all? The only reason to thin any kind of paint is to get it to spray at a given pressure. All of the PolyS paints I've used are plenty thin right from the bottle.

I use that flat coat too and music city is correct no need to thin it... but sometimes I do, like when I am misting coats for a certain effect. If you are just doing general coverage its ready to go...

Its a great flat

Same here, you can spray it straight from the bottle with good results.
