Jeff - My experience is actually the opposite. I have had good luck spraying gloss and semi-
gloss paper and very poor results spraying matte. The matte paper just seems to keep 
absorbing the spray not matter how much you spray and spray or number of coats. It never 
appears to build up a coating.
