Matte finish does have a slight sheen to it.

If you are looking for something to dull or provide a flat
finish, try using Testors Dullcote (the type that you
spray through your airbrush), this can provide the
most flat sheen you can hope for.

After my experiences with searching for the perfect clear for my Spider-man. I came up with this...

Flat...(No shine at all)= Testors Dullcote
Matte..(very light sheen)..Krylon
Semi-Gloss...(More flat than Satin but, more shiny than Matte) ...Testors Semi-Gloss
Satin..(Not as shiny as Gloss but still has a nice "Satin" shine to it)..Windsor & Newton
Gloss & super gloss...Haven't tried these yet. Kind of self explanatory.

Was just looking for that, thanks guys. Love Testor's Dullcote but was looking for an alternative and other sealers.
