Adrian, Have you been brush painting this on? You may find that the Tamiya acrylic paint dries with some sheen because of this, enamels are better for brush painting I find. I haven't tried Tamiya's enamel, only Humbrol, which does brush well too.
Tamiya's acylics are designed to be airbrushed on, some of the newer acrylics like Vallejo are also good for brush painting which is why the figure painting guys have used them so much.

This is a seat pad on my 1998 Rossi Aprilia painted with airbrushed Humbrol flat black enamel....
