Default Matte Black paint


Hey

Got a question about matte black paint, i want to paint my crx bonnet, roof and boot end in matte black but im worried about the quality and life of the paint. i dont want to use Gloss as you have no idea how many **** here drive around with gloss black bonnets on 180sx's, skylines etc and it looks ghey!

Does anyone know any paint brand that do matte black and the life expectancy?

Thanks in advance...

SATIN BLACK is what you are looking for.

don't do it...I've had my entire car matte/satin black for over six months, and the paint will NEVER stay clean. Every water spot stays in the paint, and I CANNOT WAIT til i get a real paint job.

just my $.02

My painter said he's having trouble trying to find a paint that will last. They must have a good matte/satin black paint out there considering the amout of hotrods you see with that paint!

I'll have to do it Gloss black
