Predator Roadline in Matte finish... What is it?

[Pissflitsche]

Hey,

modern Predator Roadline forearms are coated with a matte finish. What's that exactly? Is it oil or matte lacquer?

Do you think, you could remove the shiny finish from an older roadline and apply a matte finish once that it was shiny?

You can put put a matte coat on any cue, just strip the clearcoat, although with some designs the wood won't pop as much, and it's probably best to do that with a cue without inlays. I held a few of those Roadlines and they seemed more oil than lacquer, it felt woodsy.
