steev0 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anybody know any kind of coating or seal brand after painting to make a flat matt coat on a hardbait like crankbait or jerkbait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 If you are using clear lacquers try mixing in some talc, or just buy some ''Matte Base'' and mix @ apx 30% ( @ 70% lacquer x 30% BASE) --if you do a search, ''matte lacquer'' or ''matt lures'' there should be a mile of info in here.

mark poulson Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Keep in mind that the higher the gloss, the stronger the top coat. Maybe do a first coat of gloss, for protection, and then a coat of matte for looks. Or just knock the shine off the gloss with fine steel wool or a scotch brite pad.
