Well-known member
i usually get my paints from MDI woodcarvers supply or local craft stores but i have never been able to find "flat" in golden acrylics. its always matte and then i have to add the matte medium to dull it down. i switched for my blacks and whites to an acrylic latex exterior house paint but it seems to wear off after a few uses.

any suggestions for good bulk black and white acrylic and any sources for "flat" golden arcylics? would be much appreciated.

thanks

Ed,
I use the Matte Acrylic (Gray Lid) and the Matte Fluid Acrylic and it's very flat.........not dead flat but very, very flat. It also depends upon how much you work it. Work it too much and it will have a sheen though you can knock down the sheen with Testors Dull Cote (yup, we stock that too).
Now..........we also have some of the Hi-Load which is the most amount of pigment and flattener that the vehicle can carry. This stuff is FLAT...though is does scuff a little. As you increase the flatnes........you decrease the surface resistance to abrasion.
The Goldens Matte Fluid Acrylic is what I typically use for all my birds.
Let me know how we can be of service.
