    50/50 or i use 60/40, also mix your black with the matting agent 1st then mix it up as normal with the hardener @ 2:1

    Cheers lads, got some today.


    this is kinda what I'm hoping for...




    But I know there's not a hope in hell getting a finish that good so will just have to cover it up with stickers and tap it off a few walls to get it looking like no effort was taken in it

    I was wondering if there was any way you could get a flat effect with laqure alright. Be handy as the finish will last so much longer...

    To be honest, I'll probably just go ahead with what I have this time and I can always re-do it in the summer again.

    yep thats bang on the money there and make sure you mix every batch at the right ratio as if theres less matting agent it wont go as matt so you dont want a couple differnt matt and satin blacks on the car youd be surprised how many times ive seen people do this
