I have the can and I am going to sand out some trash in the dark turquoise center of the dash (Nasson SS with 2 coats of UC over it) then shoot it with a rattle can 2k of matte clear. Am I crazy?
 
If it's the real kind with the button you push and a limited pot life, I'm sure it will be fine as long as you have used it before and know how it will act.
 
I didn't even realize this was an old post! Maybe you could post the brand, once in a while a spray can is a handy thing, very little overspray.
 
I bought a $40 mini gun with 1.0 or .8 tip from amazon a while back & overspray (lack of) was great.
I used rattle can to paint aluminum square tube for something and i wanted to throw it!
Trigger on spray guns & adj fan & psi is just soooo much nicer. Spoiled.

Bought a can years ago & never tried. Figured it would be a convenience item for something like clearing headlights when not doing another project at same time.
 
The spray can of matte is interesting since SPI matte only comes in gallons, and use cases other than overall refinishes require much less than that. If I had bought a gallon of matte 5 years ago, some would still be sitting on the shelf.
 
I bought a qt of spi flattening agent a few yrs ago when i was clearing landau & imitation vert top on my 2 caddies.
Still haven't used it (but will) when/if gloss bothers me. They look like i armorall'd them, been 2+ yrs :)

I'm hording my SPI flattening agent, sadly I believe it has been discontinued. I suspect it was problematic for Barry because people didn't use it properly and take the time to test for desired results. Correct me if that is wrong.
It worked great for me.
 
That's correct, the flattening agent is discontinued. SPI makes two low gloss products, Black SS and Clear, both in gallons and both using Production Clear activator.

I have always found it's quicker to do sprayout panels first. That way don't have to redo anything. Also can show people what something looks like before they decide on a color.
 
I just bought a qt of SPI flattening agent today from my jobber that still had this last qt in stock..

Just out of curiosity - Would a different brand of flattening agent be compatible with the SPI?

It will work, but you will have to experiment with the amount of flattener. Likely it will take more than the mfr's TDS says to produce results, and the SPI clear or SS should probably be reduced at least a little to bring the solids down to where the flattener can be more effective. Plan for several mixes and sprayouts.
 
Thanks Julian - I will search for that.
Thanks crashtech -- I was planning some sprayouts anyway. Thanks for the advice on making it come out.
