I am guessing you have been using oils, and then if so, I wonder, how matte or glossy must a surface be to best work with oils?
Although the following isn't about oils, I've been wondering about the surface finish for adding grime and such. I think I've learned that if using a Vallejo wash on matte surface, that will require lots of cleanup because of how the liquid easily spread across the surface, and I think a more glossy/satic surface will help pool a wash into corners and probably prevent the wash creeping all over the place.

Treehugger: Well, the more glossy, the better you can blend the oils do stuff like streaks, or even remove it. If you try oils on a very flat surface, it's very hard to clean up mistakes and it doesn't blend as easy. A flat surface though, is better for stippling (like perhaps rust or moss) imho.

Hello Treehugger. You're right, I use oil paints. So after painting and decals, I apply a gloss varnish. After that I use oil wash and wipe it off. The next step is to matt the varnish and use it as a base for further aging with oils.
