Chris, <br /> I start like you do but I cut the matte finish with thinner about two to one thinner to matte finisher. I wet the brush with this solution and then rub the brush on whatever color chalk I want to use. If you get too much on, just wet the brush again and thin out the overdone portion. When the solution dries the chalk is pretty well bonded to the car by the dry matte finish. It's durable and it's pretty cheap! I can do a 40' HO box car in about 20 minutes. Remember to let each coat dry thoroughly because the colors will chage some as it dries. <br /> <br />Larry Pursell
