However missing in here is a red gallardo spider, Rolls Royce Drophead coupe, Ferrari 599 and a Ferrari 430.

They have a CC that is not very clear. It`s more of a cloudy coat that you spray over matte paint. It wont look glossy when you wax it either, or at least not as glossy as one would think. If you don`t use the cloudy clear coat option, then you can`t wax matte paint at all. Maybe the new Zaino CS would work, but haven`t tried it yet so I can`t say for sure.

Do not under any circumstances use wax/synthetic wax/etc. or standard auto cleaning products on matte/flat finishes!!! All of these type items will create an unwanted sheen. Professionally done matte finishes do have a clear coat. A mattifying agent is added to traditional clear coat to give the matte finish. Only products designed for matte finishes should be used.

They make flat clears and they also make special products for flat paint systems. I don`t know if I would try doing much with flat paint with out a clear (either 2 step or single staged)

Love them or hate them they require a specific cleaning / care regimen to maintain the finish. You cannot polish, wet-sand or use conventional wax or use an automatic car wash that uses hot wax in the final rinse, as the flattening agents that cause the matte appearance will become ‘levelled ‘The textured finish is accomplished by a diffused 30 degree reflection and are retained very close to the clear coat surface. By levelling the surface the light will be reflected evenly and result in a ‘shine’.

Ok i have an aquantance who is painting his car matte black and we were trying to figure out how you would detail it. I mean you dont want that High gloss and depth you get from a wax and all other traditional methods.

So what do you guys think?



heres a few pics for reference.

(not his car)

Matte Black Color will make it look dull on plain cars, but if it is a modified car, or If you can modify it into Bat-Car, It wil look awesome:clap:
