There are professional paint products available to give the matte finish, even flat finish clear coat. Or it could be the vinyl wrap we saw on some other threads that can be peeled off years later.

With all that money spent on the vehicle one would think to lower the suspension to suite the body kit.

One way to achieve a matte finish is to just use the black base coat from a two stage paint. However, there are several ways to get that look.

Matt looks so good ... WHEN IT IS CLEAN. Once it starts being the "magnet to dirt", you'll hate it. And because there is no clear coat, don't expect cleaning to be so easy. Plus, the clear is meant to PROTECT the base paint, so...

You guys are gonna love these pics (credit to www.top-car.ru)...

They now make matte finish clear coat to give this look while being a full paint job with clear. That way it washes like normal etc. If you want to go for this look, just do it right and you won't have any problems.
