Can you get this?
It's the most unsatin one I've found, so far, that isn't blackboard paint.

If you you do a final wet coat with Simoniz matt it does seem to have a sheen not dissimilar to their satin. Try following the wet coat after 5/10 mins, by pulling back a foot or so & literally dry dust the final coat. Plastikote does pretty good matt, but I have a feeling it's a polyurethane & may react with most 1k acrylics, lacquers & celly. Hycote is compatible with Simoniz, but it's gone seriously pissy these days, not good value anymore unfortunately. The Hycote Bodyshop range is ok when yer stuck, but still pi$$ compared to Simoniz

I've used Halfords own brand 'matt black'' and was happy enough with the results.... think from memory it cost about £7.50 for a 500ml tin.

Got any pics? I'm sure I used Halfords matt black once, and it wasn't as matt as I thought it would be.
This was ten years ago though.
