Has any body matte painted there car? .. Thinking about doing this to the civic, as am fed up of having a shitty looking car.

Jareds sedan is matte black, give him a shout.

What colour you thinking? Please don't say black.

Matte is so boring.
I'd only do it as a cheap skate option if the car was a multitude of colours and it was a rattle can job. No way would I pay proper body shop prices for matte.

Spend the money you would have done on matte and get a Machine polisher. Learn how to polish properly and have a nice shiny car.

A once over with a MOP does wonders.

any colour can be done in matte or satin its just an additive they put in the paint when they mix it

My time attack car was matt black. It's not bad looking when done right

We rubbed the car down, it was originally black, and sprayed it with matt laquer. Turned out well!! I'll post a picture from the computer in work shortly.

matte paint suits some cars I reckon, mainly big german machines:

Looks great imo
