> [@Viper966](#): > > I have to repaint ~ 80% of my car due to rock chips… im seriously considering going matte black… just dont know how durable it is… Durability depends on quality of the paint job. Rattlecan - Not Durable Primed, Satin Black, and ‘Matte’ Clear - Equal if not slightly more durable then what you have now from the factory Stones \> Any Paint Job I have done a few Matte jobs. White, Red, and Green. They look alright, but usually only around dusk is when the hotness shows through. On real sunny days the paint just looks faded…:shrug: ---
