I've had exactly the same experience Hotrodpaint has had with shooting flattened enamel.........if you hold the gun a second too long in one area it turns out slightly shinier than the rest. Corners and edges of brackets seem to be the worst offenders, as they will build up a thicker layer more quickly than flat surfaces. The first thing we tried to paint with flattened enamel was the original frame on my Son's '29. We shot it like we shot everything........last coat nice and wet, and the thing came out shiny as can be. Lady at the paint store said not to shoot it wet because that is what happens. I also understand if you buff out flattened clear to remove imperfections it becomes shiny too.

Hotrod Flatz is just flattened Dupont Omni I have heard, so you can get the same product by visiting your local paint shop.
