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.



lol im sorry  :embarassed:  :grin:, have to admit that blue looks really nice! was it rattle canned or proper compressor jobby?

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

He didn't mention Rat Look anywhere. Why does Matte mean Rat?

Are these rat look?

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






Something unique, urban camo-

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

yup, just spraying it matt looks gay and "wanabe"

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)





cheers for the posts lads and as for the interior im sorting that as we speak ;) (quite literally, just popped in from the garage to let the glue dry)...
