Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I tend to agree. when most people think matt/flat paint, it's pretty much always black. There are defiantly other options out there. I remeber seeing on vortex once, ( in the A1 sections) some plug for a company that has a whole range of flat paints, real proper ones. in the US of corse. no link unfortuntely, but I think the range may have been called hot rod, or something to do with hot rod..?

    can anyone confirm that?

    Give a few panel beaters/rod shops a call tomorrow Neil, and get ur feelers out there!

      I think Matte would look awesome in either Black, Grey (Aluminium look) or Silver (mother of pearl look)

      GPK_Gti's car looked awesome Matte, prior to them putting on the clear coat.

        this is what i was looking for before, well at least I'm pretty sure it was. It'd defiantly be a "first" in australia. a new car having flat/matte paint.



        Daytona Blue Pearl I believe is the colour you'd want

          I was originally going to paint my whole car in that, but black board paint isn't really cheap.

          Also, I reckon there would have been chalk message's left on the car all the time

            Getting closer but still lacking a bit of contrast. Needs to be a bit bolder...

              custom mix. maybe you can base it off the Jazz blue, and at "flatness" haha if that's at all possible. which it may be. probably just depends on the amount of clear in the paint. or something like that.
