Bit hit and miss. Saw a special edition brand new M3 done this way and it looked amazing! So tempted to get abit of chalk out though

Matte only works on a car that look mean imo , Needs to be more mean looking lmao , Maby a splitter or an aero front end? Black wheels? This is the finish i would be after if i went matte! http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/jpg/200901/matte-black-maseratiw.jpg

The picture of the maserati isnt matt black its Satin black which is much better IMO

Good choice of wheel! The BBS LM suits virtually any car!

yeah rather than matte, im going semi gloss

Be carefull of semi gloss , make a sample on a piece of old metal before trying it on your car. i made a sample and really disliked it.

you can go satin which is around 20% gloss but still , i doubt if the results with a reducer will be good enough.

why not buy matte clear coat ?

it is full matte, even my car in the sun has the exact same gloss. satin black looks fine in pics , soso in reality , i have made numerous color samples at different gloss levels.

Loving the colour mate! Maybe go for some crazy coloured wheels to contrast the matte black... pink gets my vote!

thank you , i am going to paint the center the same color as the car and the lip will be polished.

also the back will be wider at 9 width and the front will be at 8

i'll stick with the dupont, after seeing the results of the debeers on yours, matte looks too dull, and streaky like you say im actually going inbetween matte and semi, but dont know what to call it haha

am not sure at the moment but i think once lowered with the bbs rims it will look mean and good

i think it is to each his own.

i have done several tests at different gloss levels and i like the matte the best.

matte black looks very interesting, i think i like it its different thats for sure

 

[Robbie C]

I really like it Fair play - with the wheels and some other subtle mods I think it could really work

vinyl really doesn't look the same as paint , i have tested the 3m matte black which is the best you can get.

if you do something , really better to do it all the way.

vinyl would have been my choice for this finish personally.. more durable than a matt black paint finish will be (susceptable to scratching etc)

matte black when used from rattle cans will scratch, the clear coats were talking about are specifically designed to dull down offering all the propperties of normal full gloss clear just dull, thus you get uv and scratch resistancy. the plus point of vynal is you can remove it lol
