Opinions on Matte Paint/Vinyl?

I'm sorry but I don't get the matte colors. To me, they just look like cars from back in the day that were driving around just primered. I had a friend with a early-mid 60's Studebaker that he drove around forever primered cuz he didn't have enough money to get it painted...looks the same as the matte cars now...

On the other hand, saw a matte blue corvette the other day that looked pretty nice, but woulda looked better with some shine to that color!!

Yea, just don't get it....

I don't get it. In highschool we called it primer.

It's a fad. I'll put the matte finish right up there with a Loverboy album.

I get the appeal, I just think that's it's played out.

It's also a bitch to maintain from what I've read.
