Thread: Topcoat for flat colors?

I had a request to do a helmet in flat black with some artwork on it, what would I be looking for to topcoat that instead of clear? Or do they make a flat clear to do this?

house of kolor makes one I'm Dupont and PPG do also


FLATTENING AGENT (FAO1)
FA01 is designed to reduce the gloss of our acrylic lacquer and polyurethane enamel topcoats and clears. FA01 will not effect adhesion or hardness. You can vary the amount of gloss reduction (from 10% to 99%) depending on the amount of FLATTENING AGENT used. FA01 is great for undercarriages, frames and engine parts where high gloss is not desired, but a tough, durable finish is.

I will have to look into the house of kolor one, I didn't find it on any of the places I normally order from is it available off this site?

We don't sell airbrush, kustom painting products except for harder steenbeck airbrushes

publishing the magazines is my main focus that keeps me more than busy

try airbrushdepot out of CA just google airbrushdepot it will come up TCPglobal is the parent company, they ship world wide, problay have the best prices

if your going to be doing this stuff all the time it would REALLY benifit you buy local, establish a relationship with your local retailer it will pay off big time down the road

I've tried getting house of kolor locally for the last 2 months i'm not having any luck finding dealers for it. Right now I'm using PPG base's with HOK paints/kandies. I actually get all of my HOK from tcpglobal.

Ppg also has a flattening agent.
