I would of given it a coat of clear with matting agent in it, then you get the matt finish but you can clean it the same as any other paint finish, dont think anyone will be able to give you a correct answer on your question, as your not suppose to just coat a car in base coat, its going to attract the moisture and get micro blisters after time, clear coat seal's the base and protects it, like I said giving it a coat of matt clear is your best option.

Yes you need to use a Matt Clear if you want it to last. If you dont you will see marks all over the car from people touching it etc. Moisture will be absorbed by the paint causing the paint to flake off and rust the surface. Its like people driving around with cars in primer, when they go to topcoat the topcoat doesnt adhere due to all the moisture the primer has taken in...

In Speed magazine there was an R33 GTR in matt black, looked tough as, in that article they also say they were changing the paint to a satin finish as marks appear to easy on the flat.

Satin and Matt are different..

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
