hmm the reason i thought the clear coat end up like this is because matte black + normal clear = fail.. need special clear coat for matte..

am i correct??.. normal colour would look better with clear coat??

btw sorry for posting in an old thread.. just curious on the results

IMO, not really.. , matte black has a rough surface, u need to sand it flat before apply clear coat.
Eg. spraying a clearcoat on a rough surface like sand paper it'll never gonna end shining like mirror, some parts will reflect the light & some not.
So, ur finish will not gonna be mirror finish . unless u apply a very thick clear coat & sand it flat.. its not a good idea .

but then it would look like a flat black colour right?it will shine almost just like a gloss black...i noe cuz ive done both on my case...dats y a lot of money spend just on paint...huhuhuhuhuhu...

but 1 thing i did that seem to keep the matte black effect while maintaining a scratch resistant surface much like a normal clear coat...is a very2 thin clear coat...i did mine with just 2 layers...n so far i dont see any chipped off paint...
