def wasnt trying to correct ya... im wanting to do a matte white soon on whichever car i decide to go with when i sell the jag

Isn't kandy color just powered up glass dust? Used to create the reflective look?

Reason I ask..if Matte is all about the type of clear, how about some kandy colors and a matte finish? That look stupid you think??

We were actually wondering about doing a black.. with a super heavy blue pearl.. and then matte it out.. so it looks like the rubberized covers on those old motorola flips phones..

I have seen flat black with a little red transition in it before..

Kandy though... kandy is a clear.. and it adds depth by its transparency.. so i THINK if you did a sick kandy.. then matted it out.. it would mute the candy.. and instead of a deep red it would just be red... ORRRRR it could have a sick "sheet of plastic" look too it.. sorta like a dull clear red.. im not sure.. the concept itself is counter productive.. but it doesnt mean it couldnt trun out sick.....

I really wanna do a chameleon paint job.. but then cover the whole thing in a single color kandy.. so like it will have 5 DISTINCT colors.. like in a traditional chameleon.. but instead of green/gold/purple/blue/red.....
it would be BlueGreen/GreenBlue/BluePurple/DeepBlue/Purple

I think that concept could produce some really neat stuff

Wow that matte black looks awesome. I have a white yukon and i was wondering how that'll look on it... I think that matte looks better especially cause it matches the paint job

I got a matte black on my tahoe, its a really flat balck compared to others ive seen. no gloss at all some have a slight shine on them like RDs. its a pain in the ass to wash and an even bigger pain in the ass to keep clean, scuffs very easily to..
