Flat-Out Flat, as its name aptly suggests, is a completely flat-sheened water-based topcoat with an understated look and velvety feel. It can be used over paint, stains or varnish, but is especially well-suited for use over milk paints and chalk paints, where it provides additional protection as a top coat, while also maintaining the characteristic ''antique'' look and feel of the underlying paint. It is sure to be popular among shabby chic restorers and those who specialize in antiqued finishes. Made with a durable self cross-linking acrylic, its performance is similar to GF High Performance, and may be used over or under High Performance.
