Matte pros and cons?

[JGRNAUT]

Just wondering what the pros and cons for a matte(flat) paint job are vs. a regular paint job.

Thanks!

I am not sure about the New 2010 TT with the flat balck hood???? what if you get some wax on that flat finsh while you are waxing the rest of the rig... will it mess up the flat finish ????????

You should ask the guy who posted up the flat black FJ a while back. Basically they don't put a clear coat on it, but I've never seen pics of one offroad to see how it holds up.

If you run a search the thread will probably pop up and might have some more details.

They had a Matt Black Lambo at Lambo Dallas and they said they would never do it again. It's impossible to keep clean. SO now they wrap them instead. The wrap is 1/10th the price of a good Matt paint job(approx8K) and it's easier to maintain. When your sick of it, just take it off.

My top is painted flat black and I regret it. It looks killer but it is always dirty. Dust seems to stick to it more than the regular paint.
