I'm wondering how matte clear would look over a white car.

It is done?

I have some touching up to do, cleaning up the overspray and peeling some small areas.

I also have to have the disc on my rims removed and painted semi-gloss

I'm going to try the matte clear on my carbon fiber trunk and roof spoiler, I will let you know how it goes.

Absolutely, I've never learnt something by doing everything right the first time.

-100% make sure your car is clean and dry. either let it sit for a few days, or use compressed air to blow out every seal, hinge, corner etc
- take off the front bumper and remove the grill, remove the grill surround from the grill and spray everything seperately. our grills fit so tightly that it made it into one piece. I tried to cut it but it looks terrible and will be resprayed.
- our side vents were a *****, removing the side skirts and spraying seperately would be your best bet.

Thanks for the lessons learned. When you first posted that was the first area coming to my mind because it looks pretty tough to get an even spray in the confined vent space. Good job, overall it looks awesome.

Just noticed, are you able to drive up those ramps? I have the same ramps at home and there's no way I can use them with the F. Front bumper hits before the wheel meets the ramp

lol scrapes every time man

I have to wedge them under the front bumper to drive up on them when no 1x4's are handy to step up.

appreciate the comments guys, just had an offer for a photoshoot here in town so I will keep you all informed!
