I am getting really close to painting my car and have been having some thoughts about painting with a matte color, something different, yet can look really slick in my opinion. I was thinking of something like this, same color. what do you guys think?

Talk to TC 914-8, the only 914 ive seen with balls big enough to try it and it looks great, took me a minute to notice it.

The downside of course is that if the paint job comes out dirty you have to leave it and if it gets all scratched you have to leave it however neither will be as noticeable because of the matte. Problem is when you try to buff on it you will shine it up and then its over haha need more matte clear. Good luck, personally I like the idea of a dark green matte
