Hi Guys, quite a blunt question, but:
Which is better - Humbrol Matt Cote in the little jar, or in the rattle/spray can?
Or are they both the same?

Thanks,
Harry

Personally, I would say the 14ml tinlet when fired through an airbrush. An airbrush will attomize the paint much better than an aerosol making for a finer spray and better finish.

However if you are after a totally flat coat, the best varnish I have ever come across is Xtracolor 'flat' varnish. Even one very light coat will kill any hint of shinyness.

Sorry, I meant the 28ml jar that it comes in sprayed through an airbrush
