It also is known as flat or satin black and has no sheen to it - it’s more like a paint primer. With this paint, there is no polishing as all you get is a somewhat coarse texture which interestingly looks really great as a finished paint job on some cars and motorbikes.
On the other hand, this paint is really hard to maintain especially considering its lack of sheen and the coarse nature of its texture.

The Matte Black Look |
|
Good thing is that you can have matte black either painted or wrapped on your car and the end result will be a stunning paint job finish.
But if you are a person that loves that coarse dark black look, then just having a matte paint job done is the best thing to go for.
Nonetheless, it will depend on your preference and how cool you want your ride to look. Let’s have a look at which option is best to go for, for that perfect paint job.
When it comes matte black painting, one thing is certain, your car gets a stealthy finish that makes it stand out in the crowd. However, problem with matte painting is that it really is hard to maintain.
As mentioned, with this paint job, there is no polishing or buffing.
As such, when your paint gets scratched the only solution is to most probably go for a new fully body paint job - matching sheen with matte black is really hard to do.
For the best matte black paint job, a wrap job is the best option to go for. A wrap job gives the same finish as a paint job but offers you more options and solutions.
Basically, a wrap job will entail the wrapping up of your vehicle with a matte black vinyl wrap. The wrap is applied more or less like a paint protection film.
It offers the same solutions as one, only that it not only protects your original factory paint but also gives it a new black paint look.
This way, when your matte black wrap starts fading, gets damaged through an accident and scratches, or you just want a new paint option, all that you will need to do is to have the affected areas or the whole matte black wrap taken off- that easy.
