I believe the matte color will show any light swirls or scratches. I really wonder how they wash it...

another person saying they're going to paint it matte black but in all likelihood won't? i have yet to see anyone come on here and ask about it and then actually go through with it but plenty of people ask people for their opinion on what it would look like acting like they have any real prospects of doing so.

These looks great. Does anyone with a TiG have these on their car in either Gunmetal or Matte Silver?

Wrap it in vinyl if you're going to do matte. It will cost you some where around 2000-3000 for a quality wrap including taking apart certain parts for better fitment.

do you know of any company that does this?

The wheels are pretty nice indeed, I was also wondering what brand they were when I saw them.

The matte colour base looks really sick!

Question: Would the surface of the car heat up more since its absorbing the sunlight directly without the reflective surface? How does this type of paint job do against snow and salting.. lolz... we up in Canada get lots of the white stuff.....

But other then that....I think the matte black/white is definitely an agressive look...Bump!

Search your local body shops and other shops that do decals and vinyls.

IIRC, the Speedsource #70 car is wrapped in vinyl also.

Found a new flat black 8 on the net. This car has a few features I planned on doing for my car so it is cool to see it done.

You gotta wonder how difficult it is to keep that looking good. It's either got to be a pain in the *** or super easy. What's going on in that first pic? Looks like a cat walked all over it. Either that or it's water... or fingerprints...

Either way, it's pretty bad ***. I Especially like the satin finished carbon fiber hood. (That is, if it really is carbon fiber and not a wrap-job.)

Unless RE makes a CF bumper then it is most likely a wrap. I've always thought it would be a cool idea for 8's with a CF hood to add a CF layer onto the front part of the bumper.

This car looks amazing PDX, I have to aggree with you that its a wrap, if there were making this outta real CF they would probably decided one way or the other to match the sides, either all gloss(sideskirts are a CF part) or all matte...

Regardless the car looks amazing and this Monster Garage seems to making great 8,,,, heres a widebody that I found in a Super GT thread...

Modern matte paintjobs are the same as a regular gloss finish require prime, basecoat and clearcoat. The only difference is the clear has a flattening agent in it that dulls the shine. The more added the less the shine. Thats why you see some matte cars have more of a gloss then others.

The paint can be washed and takin care of just like any other paint type.. Regarding the $30k lamborghini paintjob all youd be paying for is the name that did it.

I can spray the exact same paintjob for a helllllll of alot less. matte only costs a little more than a regular paintjob.

you can put a flattening agent in the clear coat, so you can clean and wax the paint as normal paint, it'll just never be glossy.....

....or so i've been told
