Am almost done carving foam on layout. Went to small local hardware store to get some supplies for other projects on house. Was looking at paint to start scenicking. Guy comes up and we start talking about latex paint and if he could mix the right color, blah,blah. He said he's got abunch of cans of colors that didn't turn out right on sale! We're going thru them and he said here's one that the lady brought back because it looked like dirt. BINGO! The only problem is that it's Gloss Oil based Enamel. At that point the testosterone took over and that little voice in my heads telling me "I can make this work". Then the best part, it's only 3 dollars a gallon! So, then I start justifying about how I can take my time with grass and foam due to the longer drying time. So now the can is setting on the bench and I'm trying to figure out how to degloss the paint so it looks flat or satin at the very least. 50 cans of dullcoat doesn't sound very cost effective. My question is: Is there something I can mix in the gallon prior to application to take out the shine. Any thoughts would be helpful, and as always I extend my thanks in advance. Willy
