    There are matte clearcoats that leave a semi-matte finish. I wonder what would happen if you sprayed matte clear over an old clearcoat? Would the car look semi-matte/satin finished?

    I’ve had a couple matt black cars. I had a Nero nemesis (factory matt black) MurcieSV that had a satin PPF all over the car.
    My current FF is gloss black with a satin PPF which makes the car appear matt black. So far so good.

    That looks good on the FF.

    Did you detect any differences in the appearance of the Nero Nemesis after the PPF was installed? Any change whatsoever? With your FF, which brand PPF did you use? I am considering Nero Noctis for my STO, and then going over the top with a satin PPF like you did your FF.

    how was the maintenance on the matte Lambo? Would you recommend factory satin over gloss?
