I have a bottle of Black 2 - once applied it is very fragile stuff - it doesn’t tolerate being handled or being in contact with anything. It loses its matte surface very easily (light finger touch) or flakes off.

Only practical use on Astro gear is inside a closed OTA like a refractor, mak or SCT.

Forget applying anything over the top - firstly that produces a satin surface and secondly the adhesion to whateve is underneath is still limited by the black paint, ie it will rub or chip off.

If you need a more durable surface consider the various flocking materials, carbide sandpaper, or velvet.
