*** Chris that matter is only a form of fine pumice,if ever you need to matt paint that you think is a bit too glossy just add a bit of fine talc,really stir anything like this ever so throughly with a wooden stick,I notice that a lot of the Revell paints are not as matt as they should be and can sometimes benefit from a bit of matting agent ie talc,I learned about this from watching how they make paint in a factory,everything is made as gloss at first then in goes the agent to make batches of matt.

Please don't ridicule me too much, I'm only small , lol.
