i think matte black looks terrible and tacky, and easily damaged too. not exactly fancy paint on your car is it? £300 seems a higher than average price.

obviously you need to find somewhere with a good reputation, but my mate had his bonnet done £200 and it was spot on. and that was on a pretty new bmw

Don't worry about what any one else thinks, it's your car and your budget......I'm building my mk3 on a shoe string with very little time to play so I have to put up with satin black or tatty looks panels whilst I save up for a paint job.

Matt-back the f*cker.

Mate of mine had a Jetta that was completely done in matt black.

Used to wash it and then touch in where it had come off with a can he carried around with him.  :grin:

It's not like you're going to ruin the look of the car - it's a Golf3.

Matte black can look grey under clear coat(gloss or matte), i've used satin black with good success. It cuts the glare down and is more durable then matte IMO.
