Re: flat black recipe?

i dont know what nasson paint is but i know any autobody paint supply store sells a flatening agent that you add to clear to make it flat. it may work for single stage as well but not 100% sure. your best bet would be to call an autobody suply store and they'd be able to help you out.

Nasson is just an brand name of paint. I have called the local parts stores and they say the same ,which is you add it to the clearcoat. I just thought that if something in the paint makes it shiny then another chemical would make it dull. Thanks for reply though.

Honestly I would never do flat black, to me satin black is the way to go.
