Not something that anyone would really talk about, but.... Seeing a couple of Dino's in the paint process, seeing a Dino painted before clear coats are added, it looks similar to a Matte finish. It looks really awesome. Has anyone ever thought about this? Shawn
What happens when you polish a matte finish, does it become glossy? Ferrari has a modern color, Grigio Opacco, that is matte and I was cautioned on the finish care
I'm wondering what kind of clear coat you put on it. Must be a matte finish similar to a flat poly coating you'd see on a floor. I'd guess it's a softer finish than a gloss finish, and that's why they caution you about finish care. Hmmm . . . Matte Paint Care Made Easy Seems you can't use a regular wax on them as it will fill in the matte finish eventually, at least according to this. D
Oh, as to the original question, Shawn. REALLY? You of the school of original intent would consider putting a matte finish paint on a Dino? I don't think I would, in my darkest hour, have thought that would be a consideration for you. Personally, it's a non-starter for me. D
After you acquire a certain number of Dinos in your stable, I'll bet you reach out to that ragged edge of 1970's paraphernalia. Years ago, Danny Z bought a second targa top roof and finished it in the period art leading lines checkerboard. Talk about causing a stir, this is one polarizing conversation piece! http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/170706-gts-roof-panel.html . . .
Interesting very interesting. At the time it seems I LIKED it!! Still do. But it's a little different than doing a matte paint job that would cost $10K to repaint. Or more. However, having said all that, they're cars, and if you have the money and the inclination, I'm sure a matte finish would look cool. D
I wasn't considering doing it, I do think it looks cool and seeing several of OMGJON's threads showing painting (I have spent way too much time looking at those) I think it does look cool on the body. I posted this thread, because I can easily see someone having done this at some time. I was curious to see what a fully put together Dino would look like with it... We have been pretty low on silly, new topics here in the Dino Land area of F-Chat...... Shawn
