Default Good answer actually

Hi Troy

Robin's answer is just about what I would have said, I've gone the same route with both OD and Tan used on CMPs. Because I don't like having paint fade I only use high end paint, like Dupont, expensive but you can come back 5 years later and the paint will match.

Now to the topic of flat vs high gloss. To start with, don't use the hardener it will make the paint gloss. I don't put any flatter in the first coat, in the 2nd I had 10% - 15% flattened.

What color are you working with?

Cheers Phil
