Matt finish cellulose - do I need lacquer?
Does "matt" finish cellulose need lacquer on it to protect it, or is the lacquer just to make it shiny and the paint will do fine on its
own???

If you laquer a "matt" finish, you will turn it into a gloss finish (don't ask how I know this )

So is matt tough enough on it's own to withstand chips etc ???
I can see how the laquer would make it shiny, but won't it still look matt through the shiny laquer ???

I had the same problem on a bike I painted, I needed a Matt section for the belly pan, but wanted to protect it from stone chips so tried the lacquer
route, and ended up with full on gloss finish 
It might be possible to mist the lacquer coat on and achieve a matt type finish (??), might be worth a try (can of matt spray paint and a can of spray
lacquer and see what happens)
Cheers

Just buy 10ml of matting agent
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
