    When you clear over it, it will make it glossy

    You won't be able to clear over the airbrush work if you're using a flat black or a satin black.

    Actually they make a "flattening" agent to put into the clear so it wont shine, but protects the base.

    They make a clear tht is "flat" I forget who makes it just do a google search. Satin is a little more shinny than flat but not a gloss. I personally think satin is better. I sprayed my old mazda rustoleum satin black thinned it down with acetone an cost me about 45-55 bucks an came out great
