How do you remove clear gloss ?

[majestic1]

Not sure if this is the right section to post this or not but there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people on this board so i thought id ask anyway, here's my dilemma i put some clear gloss onto a statue to get a "wet look" but now i regret it, is there any way to get the gloss off without taking the paint off as well ?

It was just one coating.

Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

nope can't

only thing you can do now is try to dull it down.

makes a flat cote you can put thru a airbrush and it will dull down paints big time but to much will make it cloudy.

That or repaint over that gloss with the original paint.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I second what Vincey said; dull it down with some flat top coat; Testors Dullcote, Windsor and Newton Flat Varnish etc etc

A heat gun may work

Another way would be applying paint strippers and solvents
Read directions and precautions on the container
These chemicals are unpleasant and should be done in a well ventilated area
