Matt paint where can I get some?

[Warby]

Hi all. Thinking of painting my Golf in a matt red colour, everyone and there mother seems to have black. Any ideas where I can get some? Sorry if this has been asked before :embarassed:. Oh I'm probably gonna roll it on if that helps

Your local Motor Factor should be able to mix this up for you, either by mixing up a 2K topcoat, and adding Matting agent to the mix.
Or, having your colour mixed as a Basecoat, but then adding Matting agent to the 2K lacquer, be warned though, the colour will change more than you might think! reds for example can take on a greyish/Pinkish hue, and look very naff, and also, the more Matting agent that is added to the mix, the easier it will mark and stain!

Edit, just seen the Dragon Green in your sig, in which case you would have to do this in basecoat, however, if your bodywork is in pretty good shape, then all you would have to do, is blow in any local repairs, then simply Matt lacquer the whole car, to get what you want... could look quite good!

I do wrapping for a living, its not too bad, just buy enough vinyl for each time you cock up.

Right so if I get four times what I need hopefully I should have enough
