i am familiar with a matte clear, my 350z has a lot of it.

however i have had many people tell me that you cannot just clear coat over a typical aftermarket "CF" hood... something about how it doesnt adhere properly to a gel coat or something along those lines?

Matte clearcoat is just like glossy clearcoat, all the same just an additive to make it dry dull....I've sprayed my hood, hatch, and every piece in my car with clear...along with a few hundred pieces we've wrapped for people in the past and still do. Just prep it the correct way and all good.
