I searched the forum for related topics and couldn't find anything, so here are my questions.
I know people have matte/flat "paint jobs" on their vehicles and they are just using a primer. My intuition tells me not to do that because primers are porous and will retain moisture, causing rust. So my first question is... how does a primer with a clear coat compare to priming, painting and clear coating a vehicle with regards to protection of the body?
My second question is, does matte/flat paint exist? I've tried searching the internet for maybe an hour I struck out.
I'm ok with a little shine, like a flat/semi-gloss. I just want the finish to be as matte as possible so my grill and emblems will stand out with high gloss paint.
Lastly, this is a bit off the topic, but I can't draw worth a darn. Is there any program that allows you to "paint" your vehicle to test color schemes? Or does anyone have advice on that? I have a '53 1/2 ton pickup.
Thanks guys/gals
