Depends which country you're in. Matt is correct in Europe and UK. Matte is more common in the Americas. As diyaerospace has not said which country they're in, lets not force American english on them yet.It is properly referred to as “matte”, not “matt”. It is a non-glossy finish, not appreciably different than a flat finish.
You can either use flat colors, or when you select a clear coat, choose one which is matte (as opposed to gloss or semi-gloss).
The paint finish also known as a flat finish is used by the military for their camouflage painting. Light reflections from military things are nor encouraged.....
