I am toying with a Satin black topcoat .I know that a GMH style black is what i want,l not mat . Anyway GMH is UV sensitive , can anyone suggest a 1K or 2K that will be the correct dulness and UV protected.
Thanks Mitchell😎.

Aparently you can use a gloss paint, eg gloss black, and add a matting agent to it. 30% matting agent is supposed to give a good look. I'm not sure on how porous the paint gets with a low sheen though and of course you can't polish it as you end up with patchy paint. I'd speak to a painter or a paint supply shop.

:jesus
go for black 2k primer,but any matt type finish is hard to keep clean,like finger prints,oil spills,etc,with the 2k primer just cut it back and give it a new coat ,is hard wearing.........

cheers
