NOTE: Unrubbed LUCiTE® will generally produce a gloss comparable to original unrubbed interior semi-gloss finishes, "flats identified with an asterisk require the addition of 2 ounces Du Pont 4528 Flattening Compound. It may be necessary, at times, to tint colors to produce a satisfactory match due to normal weathering and changes in color standards. DULUX® is not recommended for repair of LUCITE® or other Acrylic Lacquer finishes. Unpolished Lucite® will generally produce a gloss comparable to original interior semi-gloss finishes. If lower gloss is required, use up to 1/2 oz. DuPont #4528 Flattening Compound to a pint of unreduced color.
