It is used for earth and mud on bases and groundwork, for desert camouflage on aircraft and vehicles, for wooden items and track pads, and for weathering lower hulls and wheels. Aircraft modellers use it for camouflage patterns on desert and temperate schemes. It is also a key mixing colour for dust effects. Spray it over a grey primer.\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.
