Finish Question

Are Matte finish and flat finish the same? I always thought they were. But, with Krylon Matte finish I can see a little shine. Am I correct in thinking they are the same? If not, what flat finishes do you use?

Are Matte finish and flat finish the same? I always thought they were. But, with Krylon Matte finish I can see a little shine. Am I correct in thinking they are the same? If not, what flat finishes do you use?

Hi Mark,

I like to use Testor's Dull Coat spray. It works very well. In the picture below the Barnhart loader used to be shiny plastic red....but no more after a couple of passes of Testor's Dull Coat.

Hope this helps.

Dr Tom

I'm not familiar with the Krylon matte, but you can't go wrong with the Dullcote. Just use it in a well ventilated area...
