A matte painting is an old-fashioned special effect used in movies. In essence, the background of a shot is literally painted in. In Mary Poppins, for example, the 1910 London skyline was created using matte paintings.

What do you add to paint to make matte finish?

The type of paint used for matte painting lies in the meaning of the word "matte". It is a type of paint that leaves a surface which does not reflect light to a great degree. In other words, it is not very shiny and is often more pleasant to look at for extended periods of times. Matte paint is very often used indoors, in homes and at offices.

It depends on the paint and the manufacturer. Some flats have a slight matte-like sheen, however, in a paint line the matte sheen should have a higher sheen than the flat version, but a lower sheen than the eggshell version.

Can you paint gloss over matte?

Always prime first and make sure to key (sand) all surfaces, whether you are priming or not that is VERY important.The rule is: You cannot use water base paints over oil base paint. You may if you prime first. If your matte and your gloss are both water based, you may use the matte. When in doubt, please prime first.AnswerBeing in the painting business for nearly 10 years, the key factor to painting waterbase paint (in any sheen) over oil base paint is to sand, sand, and sand again. A regular primer will not add any adhesion to the surface - you need a high adhesion primer that is either oil or shellac base first, or a waterbase that is made specifically to grip to oil. Of course, I would skip this step entirely simply by sanding thoroughly - and using a waterbase topcoat that is good quality. Ideally you should use a paint that is made to stick to oil, such as General Paint's HP2000 or Dulux Diamond. But priming with a regular waterbase primer will not help to solve this problem and will be a waste of your time and money.
