Matte White Paint?
 

Opinions on a matte white paint job?
How much do you think it will run?
And where to get it done?

not feelin it... just another fad

at least you wont need to wax it after washing your car.

OP, I been there myself, a lot of flat finishes have been done and I was looking at doing a flat white myself, but then did a bit more research and found out a few things. The main reason I didn't do flat white was because I found out it takes a lot of money to get a flat paint job done right, even mediocre jobs often look discolored (on flat black for example some spots would appear darker)

and another thing was I wanted to do something different than the flat everyone was doing, I went Satin White, a semi gloss was used, and it's the perfect balance between flat and gloss. I don't regret it, because I love it and I don't get any flack from my boys for being a "matte" poser. Everyone seems to appreciate the originality, so yea my suggestion would be unless you have 10 g's or more to spend don't go with flat. I'm sure a lot of guys here will jump in and disagree with me, but I know from personal experience I'm not just stating an opinion.


here's some pics of an expensive Flat White paint job

and here's a Lambo where I got my inspiration from, the color comes like this from the factory, it is matte but under the lighting in the second picture it looks almost satin, and that's where I got my idea to do my car satin white.

Thanks for the info, yea i definitely like the satin finish. I like how it has a bit of a shine to it.

How much did it cost you and where did u get it done?

Not a fan of that flat white, it looks too toyish
Maybe its just me though

Lambo colour is really nice though, looks nice and oily
