i suppose you could always wrap it in matte black. if later you decide that you want to go back to blue, you can.

If it makes your decision any easier...I would go with the matte black. But it is really you choice. If you do go matte black. Post up some pics!

satin black ! but its alote of work to do it right , but looks awesome i think if you do alote different than a gloss finish to take care of. but i would do it again. you could do a wrap.. but still gonna pay a few thousand bucks for that..

Thumbs up

DUPLI-COLOR now has a product made for flat based automotive paint in their new product line-up.. usually it is a pain , for those like myself who want to flat paint a vehicle with a air compressor setup. I am reffering to the clear top coat. Even though you sprayed on a flat coat of paint, adding the clear protective top coat , added that semi gloos look and appeal.. Not anymore, DUPI-COLOr has now made a nice topcoat that keeps the finish a flat look , and protects the paint just as well as their regular products. It is on their website. I saw the write up on the Speed Network, and they said it works very well.

Later on, when my paint job goes bad, I will do the same shadow grey or flat black,, gives the Jeep a mad max look.
