danj8608 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 You will need some sort of satin lacquer to go over the matt paint as my mate said he was always touching up stone chips as he worked all round london. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah, I know you can get laquer specifically for matt/satin finishes. Couldnt be doing with touching up all the time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
