Andy,
As some of the others have said use a gloss coat, others say that's not necessary. Personally I use Klear to seal the surface and leave it over night, I then brush on a thin layer of Tamyia X20 thinners and add the pigments. To build the pigments up if you want more depth is to tap the pigments off the tip of a brush then using a long bristle thin brush gently wick the thinners into the pigment and allow to dry that way you can maintain a textured finish. when this has dried out mist over the matt coat of your choice. There are of course many well tried and tested methods but this works for me. HTH.
