Matt paint is available off the shelf, it may depend on what colour, as you may have to order, a good paint shop will mix it there and then.

Im not sure, The last time I wanted matt grey/silver and went to a bodyshop and they mixed it for me, and my mate who's a sprayer, sprayed my bike, it came out great.

do you think they'd let you know what the mixture is, or is it a hard kept secret?

You also need a matt basecoat, I've known some matt paint to go shiny when applied to a shiny surface.

You could always get a vinyl wrap for the car in a matt colour, this can look just as effective.

honestly i've been hearing so much about it last time, but really dunno nothing about it, so wanna hear how it goes and how it is, maybe i might try it.
for example, i've seen some black car parts, something like non painted and they are black and not shiny, does that count as matt paint?
