right ive recently brought a gti off here, hate shiny paint and love matte.
pretty much i have a matte black car at the moment and im going to get the new gti sprayed after i do the body work on it. what colour though? ive got the idea of either matte silver or matte black again.
back to the point, if you could all put up pics of nice matte cars to give me some more ideas for colours, doesnt matter if it dub or not im just looking at the paint.
cheers :smiley:

if your going for a decent rat look theres a lot more to consider than just the paint imo

To be honest he was asking a question, no need to slate him lol, to be honest i quite like matte cars as it is something different and can look good in certain circumstances. Dunno why but ive always like the red oxide colour for some reason :lipsrsealed:

ive got a mk1 cabby im gonna rat in me garage :D

I wasnt being abusive :grin: Just my opinion.
Hundreds of people just get fine cars and matt them,or rusty bonnet them.
Ive seen mk5s with rusty bonnets they have left outside in padling pools full of salt water for a month just to get a ratty look.
It just looks a mess.
My mates just resprayed his polo with satin blue paint, cost less than £100
Cheap and decent look, not mega shiny like you mentioned you done like, got a nice finish on it too.

Was done with a compressor on a college course which only costs much less than a spray job :smiley: with access to heated booth, welders, hydrualic ramps and other equiptment, handy!
If you want a matt colour id highly recomend nato green, not that many about and looks awsome

lol sorry lads but i didnt actually mention "rat" anywhere. im not bothered about what my cars are classed as, infact im not bothered with the whole class things in general.
when i say matte silver i mean like this but metallic (i guess i meant satin)

Thats quality!
I thought when he said matte silver he meant like a primer grey but looks stunning on that BMW
-
that does look very nice! Esp the bmw.
The guy with that polo is toying with idea for doorcard trim, parcel shelf and roolining, trip to ikeas textile area?
Also idea of using beermats and lacquer over them in a bonnet bra shape
