though i am a way off on painting my car. i was wondering how do you care for a matte finish. I know some guys have flat black hoods. you couldnt wax them right? what do you do just wash it? what happens the first time you get a greasy hand print on the fender? i was considering a medium to light blue matte finish. very similar to the paint that is already on it. even though it wasnt meant to be matte.
 
I repaint once a year with a spray can, haha, I've washed my car a few times also...and mind you, this is over a crappy spray can job, I'm sure legit paint would be fine to wash plenty of times...
 
Here is what I highly recommend for "matte" finishes. :D

I agree with the satin clear. Then you can just wax it. I t wont get shiny on you.
