Perhaps you could use hard gloss paint and flatten in afterwards with
320 grit wet sanding. Brent YSTay wrote: Hello all, I was hoping that some of you may have a solution for me: I require a flat black paint for a fiberglass surface (gel coat). All the paints I have tried use flattening agents which scratch VERY easily. If you run a fingernail across the paint, you will leave a shiny streak where the flattening agent has been worn off. It doesn't take long for the paint to look very old indeed. So far, I have tried Polyurethane 2 packs, acrylics, enamels, latex exterior and lacquers. All of these use flattening agents which I suspect to be the cause of the problem. Several years ago, I used a slow drying enamel which did not use flattening agents (was matt even when wet). This was good paint and pretty scratch resistant but I can't get it any more. Any ideas? How about if I used metal flake or some other additive to flatten the paint? Thanks in advance, Arnold |
