This is a 1974 car, but not the original paint ( it was Olympic blue). It's a copper color, now faded due to the sun, but it suits the card in my eyes and I'm wondering if anyone recognizes an approximate Porsche color.

You get the flat look from the 1st stage of the Copper or any of the 2 stage metallics. If you just shoot just the 1st stage and then spray a flat or any degree of clear with flattener in the clear you may get what you want if matte finish look copper is what you want.

When people started to paint cars with matte paint I was surprised to see very expensive cars in Beverly Hills with Matte paint jobs. MB, P cars, Bentleys

It would just be easer to wrap the car for that look. You can just remove it when you grow tired of the look.
