Car modellers use it for tyres, interiors, dashboards, chassis, radiators and window seals, while aircraft modellers paint cockpits, anti-glare panels and night fighter schemes with it. Armour builders use it for rubber tyres, tracks and pre-shading, and figure painters for boots, belts and equipment. It is also the standard base for many chrome-effect and metallic techniques. A dead-matte black that dries evenly makes every build look sharper.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with matte finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA matte finish hides nothing: fingerprints, uneven coats and gloss patches all show.
