Many white paints are single stage paints. My white CRV is a SS paint as well as my neighbor's Toyota Corrolla. Single stage paints can shine just like a clear coat unless they are made to be matte.

Man I do not miss this thread.

Matte paints aren't durable.

If you as much as rub your finger on it with pressure you'll put a shiny spot on the paint that cannot be undone.

It's such a high-maintenance paint. I wouldn't want it on a car that I DD - people at the grocery store could touch it/rub it and ruin the paint job.

That being said, matte does look good when done on the right car.

Holy crap! This car isn't back on the road yet?

I no its been a long wait, but im glad nothing was rushed on this fix. I just cant wait to get it back and start the modding. First thing test pipes, spacers, swift springs and maybe Akuma intake... Ill keep all of you posted :tup:
