Matte colours

This is only just an idea at the moment so dont go all crazy just yet. Firstly, I love the colour of my car - don't get me wrong but could you imagine that colour in matte. It hasn't been done at all to my knowledge but I personaly think it would look the ducks nuts! My car's paint has seen better days so this is just a random idea I've had that I thought I would share with you all.

An idea of the colour/texture I would be looking at:

What do you think?

is that colour really that flat? I don't think, or rather it doesn't seem that flat too me. havin said that.

NICE.

I would be nice to have a flat, with a tint of metallic in there. so it wouldn't be completely flat, but have a slight "sheen" to it. I think completely flat wouldn't look too good. (i could be wrong thoough!) I think if you go easy on the clear coats (ie, just have say 2 layers of clear) you get a "sheen" to the paint, but I'm not exaclty sure. defiantly worth having a look into!

I'd want it closer to Jazz blue but this is the idea...

Matt / Flat paint is all the rage in the US at the moment.
Check out vortex, the topic has been discuss many times, plus plenty of pics.

As for the choice, not for me...

Each to there own though!

yea that's getting there... a little lighter and maybe more metallic?

EDIT: lighter isn't the right word. maybe brighter?
