Yes - their (Krylon's) satin gives quite a bit more "shine" factor - approaches semi-gloss in my opinion, and in my particular case where I was redoing a GP9 to the "Black Widow" it was simply not acceptable. I had begun the project with some SemiFlat black that I had and was greeted with the "Satin Black" at the local Walmart and TrueValue - thankfully, I experimented on an old Folger's can before I ruined my project. That's the point where I contacted Krylon. If you are trying to match the original SemiFlat with their Satin finishes, it won't do the job. The only way I can see is to use the Satin on a new project, wait a week for it to fully cure and then overspray with their clear matte to return it to the same sheen as their semi-flat. Also, if you are going to decal the new finish, then use a full gloss, wait the week and decal it, then do the matte. I am not sure I would risk this on the model itself without trying it on the Folgers can first however. I sprayed a test patch on the can, applied a spare decal and tested my sequence several ways before I had the confidence to proceed with the actual project. As a side note, Krylon's feedback all seemed predicated on the fact that they were forced away from the lacquer-based products by "regulations" but at the same time, I noticed on my last visit yesterday to Home Depot that they continue to carry lacquer paints (but from Rustoleum) in selected (read as few) colors. Go figure!
