Post by: stainesy on 27 May 2011, 17:05

Anybody no where I can get matt paint? Not black. Like matt white or other matt colours. Can only seem to find matt black everywhere.

I would look into vinyl wrapping rather than actually painting the car. This way if you want the gloss back, you simply rip off the vinyl. Plus the vinyl will help protect the paint from stone chips and the like.

yeah but getting my hole car wrapped would cost alot more than me buying the paint and spraying the car myself

If your paintwork is in decent condition why don't you just provide a key for it and put some matt lacquer over the top?
