matte colors on a F-body anyone ever seen a matte silver or any color on an F-body? And is there a difference between a "matte" v.s. a "flat?"
Lambo's use a matte color a lot but that type of car has sharp lines that a F-boy doesn't really have so it might look funny.

a.k.a Satin ______ lol and i think there are a few flat black Birds and one of two camaros roaming around somewhere. im thinking about doing a 3rd gen completely blaked out all corners and lights except headlight and flat black paint with some nice and shiny Prostars but thats in the future lol. im sure the guys with the flat black cars will poke their heads in here sometime soon

i thought there was a difference between flat, matte and satin?
flat is like camo and flat black. satin has a sheen. but matte is somewhere in the middle right?

matte and satin are very similar flat is well flat.. and it cant really be washed well as dirt and dust likes to stick to it .. if you are wanting to "murder" your car out there are many companys that make a hod rod flatz wich is a single stage , thatd be your way to go.. kustom shop sells a galon of it with hardner for $100

matte and satin are so close to tell a difference as well as semi-gloss theyre all practically the same. As to the hotrod black I just use a primer called DP21 which is a primer you can add color too and do any colr you want and then I use matte clear over that instead of doing it single stage. And it comes out great, and its easy to wash as opposed to the comment above it just shows grease.
