Sorry, I haven't noticed that issue with any water-based coloring (both AmeriMist and Chefmaster are water-based, and I use both blacks, as well as Spectrum Flow alcohol-based black). Water-based colorings tend to go down somewhat glossy and stay that way for a little while, though all will ultimately dull. The only colorings where I see a noticeable difference in sheen is with alcohol-based ones. Because their base is alcohol, the coloring dries more quickly and more immediately with a matte finish. Maybe you were just airbrushing on a very dry day or put down a light coating of the black (the more water-based coloring you apply in an area, the shinier it will get due to moisture build-up).
