For use with 2k lacquer out of a gun?

I dabble in a bit of painting, and I'm planning on doing a helmet for a mate soon which we think would look best in satin. I can't find anywhere that sells small quantities of flatting agent, anyone know of an online shops that can help out?
My local auto paint store is likely to have something for around £100, but I'm only going to want a few grams. Any ideas?

Sorry that was for matt lacquer. I have only come across matting agent in 1L tins. Try a bodyshop they may sell you a bit.

The Lechler one you linked to is very good. I use it mainly on Renaults with the matt bumper inserts.
Unless you can get a local bodyshop to let you have a bit of matting agent - or some matt lacquer - then that may well be your best option. Esp at that price.

Christ that is cheap! Had a look on brighton's site the other day but couldn't find what I wanted, so thanks for the link. I actually use lechler clear anyway, wonder if I can mix them 50/50 and have it less Matt? Might give them a call and ask.

Cheers all.
