Help With Paint/Matte Finish
truck is going to the body/paint shop tomorrow. Here's what I am looking for, I want an olive/army green in matte or flat finish. Does anyone know where I can find a paint code for matte finishes so that I can give the guy at the shop the right code. If there is no code available, I have seen some trucks on here with the matte finish, would you mind sharing the process with me to tell to him. Thanks for any help you can give

Re: Help With Paint/Matte Finish
There are some (see http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/anyb...ner-83235.html) that claim Johnson & Johnson Talcum powder (baby powder) will flatten any gloss paint beautifully. I don't paint but the painter who did my truck used this PPG flattener as an additive to the black paint he used on my fenderwells: PPG DX685.

Re: Help With Paint/Matte Finish
Check out the link below for "Hot Rod Flatz" pre-flattened paints. I've heard good things about it, but have not used it...yet. I did get some of their Oxide Red Epoxy primer and it has held up great.
