Making Glossy Paint Flat

I posted the following message yesterday: “I once heard that you can add baby powder to glossy paint to make it flat. Is this true? I cannot locate a particular color in flat that I am using to assemble a B-17. Does anyone have an idea?”

I tried it - it worked!

Glad it worked for you. How did you apply your paint after adding the baby powder, brush or airbrush?

There’s an easier way. Get a hammer, put the bottle of paint on a smooth, hard surface, and pound away until it’s as flat as you need it to be.

I think I’ll go play on the freeway now …

I applied with a brush since the area was so small.

Talcum powder works best to flatten.
