It did look nice, but it looks A LOT better with the clear coat on IMO. :tup:

I'm curious about this. I spoke with a bodyshop today about getting a Matte Gray and the guy said he has a method which he incorporates a clear coat in order to protect the matte and prevent it from fading out.

I know this guy is on the ball and very honest from my dealings with him in the past, just curious if anyonje can shed some light on this?

Sorry for the Hijack Docaam, the red looks badasz!

There is a method to making a matte clear coat. I have read about it before but have since forgotten what it was. Matte paint without a clear will fade and be a pain to clean.

WOW!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

There is a clear for matte the bodyshop showed me two canS they needed to mix it. But I wanted shiny effect as matte gets dirty soon and difficult to clean. I used a special clearcoat which has more shine so atleast it will make any F40 owner think when I will ever park next to a Ferrari that Nissan paint quality is better lol

The shade is very light compares to OEM red and comparing two Nissan shade looks maroon
