Matte Paint Job???

[Eagle]

my problem with mattes is upkeep. you can't really polish them or wax them from what I understand.

matte black is rather played out IMO after 7 years+ of matte black paint on trucks and spo-coms, euros, etc and 60+ years of sueded Kustoms.
I do still think matte COLOR has some potential, but it is very easy for it to look like the pastel mid 90s.


The way I remember the trends:
early 90s
fluorescents, bright primarys and splash/bubble graphics
mid 90s
pastels and monochromes, over simplified flames, scallops.
late 90s
tribals and speed stripes, intense 30 color+ graphics make a return on show trucks.
early 00s
bold monochromes make a return, but in non primary colors
mid 00
mattes, painted/colored wheels make a return.

I'm ashamed to say that I have the same wheels.

Now I just need to matte black it out to complete the Dyrdekmobile.

Eh..........For a show vehicle that has everything else completely modded fine, but for a basicly stock or slightly modded vehicle like mine not so much

Im debating in the matte green. Seen a avalanche in a magizine with it and it looked sick! But I am a chrome and shiny finish kinda guy too, but i think matte and chrome would look nice if done right. Tired of seeing everyone get this matte black finish like they batman or something! To each his own.......

I'm not sure how a Matte paint job would look on our style/body of Denali/Tahoe....I can look at it on a 2007 or greater in the pics above, and know that it looks good, just aint sure how it would look on ours????

I'd also like to see Matte and Chrome if done right that sounds like it would look pretty good. I'd like to see it first before trying to attempt anything like that though

These 2 pics are ****** SIIIIIIICK! I think the matte black is badass and the matte white with those matte black rims is just barely behind it. I would easily drive either one with a smile.

Jason Ellis (ex pro-skateboarder, Sirius/XM radio host) has a matte green F-150 I saw on some site....looks pretty tough
