Wattyl paint . Yes, Wattyl here in OZ make a industrial enamel in flat olive drab . I have used it , but after it dries it has the feel of chalk , . . . . . . . . .
It's possible to flatten enamel yourself with ordinary talc powder ( same as babies bum stuff ) mix it in slowly a little at a time. . . .

Alright, don't panic; just keep a firm grip down there so you don't fall off the underneath of the world
I'll take some tomorrow to alleviate CDSW withdrawal symptoms, been hissing down here for days, cold too.
I see from other lists people complaining about some commercial paints actually fading and going chalky after a relatively short time.
I've never known the Ballards use talcum powder and not seen anything painted with matt paints here supplied from a specialist supplier that has gone chalky. I have no idea what the "matting agent" is that they use but it is a commercial product and looks like dull, muddy light brown and thickish liquid that you just add as needed. As far as I know its an over the counter stuff from the automotive paint suppliers, but I will ask.
