Default Hey professional painters,,,need some advice.

Actualy,advice and help.I'm getting ready to have my car painted and decided that I want to paint it a matte black(like the Camaro and Charger on Forza Motorsport showdown)Do companies like Dupont,Sherman Willams ect make a matte or is is a flatener that is added?I want the protection of clear coat,but not the shine.Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.

Most major paint brands make the clear you're looking for. Just make sure the car comes out of the booth clean(no runs or heavy dirt). You can't buff the matt clear, it will shine if you do.
