Your local Motor Factor should be able to help you out, If you want a straight colour ie non metallic, them you just have matting agent additive added to the colour. If you want a metallic matt finish, them its base coat as normal, just add matting agent to the Lacquer instead
Be sure of what you actually want though, and realise the implications of having a non gloss finish! if you just want a non reflective finish, then I would advise a Satin/Eggshell finish, as Matt itself can turn very scruffy very quickly,
Your local Motor Factor should be able to put you in he picture, with what finishes are possible, so pay them a visit!

Depends on how fussy you are on the quality of the finish, if you don't mind a roller finish go to B&Q (Weathershield Paint) :wink: :grin:

If your after a matt finish don't go for satin, they are nothing alike!

I sprayed my car satin black, because my previous matt black car got scruffy, but was never happy with the satin finish so went back to matt  :cool:
