If the TAMIYA Clear is still too shiny, any local Automotive Paint Supplies can provide flattening agent that can be mixed with clear coat finishes to get your desired effect 
Bunnings had a matte finish clear coat, think it was Dulux.
You can get a Tamiya matt clear
Iâve got some Rust-Oleum matte clear enamel,
And rustoleum custom lacquer Matt clearâŚ
Will try on an older sample first.
Whatâs the secret to applying rubnshine?
I put on gloves, applied a tiny amount by, fingerâŚ
It dries in a blob instantlyâŚ
How do you apply it more evenly.?
Better than naked black, but i still cant really apply it how i want it to go onâŚ
trying to put the tiniest dab, onto the end of a cloth, and run it quickly over a large area, for a streak effect, rather than a blobâŚ
Blobs still happening thoughâŚ
Any thoughts.??
Iâve always loved this one, right up my alley. Robar(gone out of business then another is doing it under diff name) NP3 finish from 14 years ago. Fully sick.
Can only look and not touch in my cuntry. Happy switch n all and my fav UZI model. Sry for the cross models but the finish just love it.
Or get a happy Mcmeal

I usually put a tiny dab on the end of my rubber gloved finger and smear with a clean finger.
Youâve probably figured out by now that a little rubânâbuff goes a very long way and itâs easy to overdo it. 
First effort looks pretty good though. Like you said, big improvement on the all black. 
I under-STEN-d , I might need some more practiseâŚ
Oh yea rubber gloves, a dab finished with a rub n buff. Lucky I donât misundersten
