Just wanted to ask a few questions about painting a car.
I was thinking of painting my EX Flat/Matte Grey.
Seeing that autozone and discount autoparts has flat colors what will happen if i put a clear coat of paint on the flat paint will it still be flat when finished?

I'm sure if you put clear coat on flat paint it will not be flat. When doing a two stage base coat/clear coat, the base coat (color) is flat. It isn't until the clear that it becomes glossy.

I am about to paint my hatchback flat white. Working on some dents at the moment but I am not planning to use clear. Just primer, and matte white.
