jadelauren Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hey guys,Just want people's opinions on a rattle matte spray job on a lupo compared to a pro paint job. I know that a lot of people are split on a rattle job on a car. Reason being is I do 500 miles a week and I've seen a few nice examples of matte vag cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) No comparison really.A professionally painted matte car does look awesome, a car painted with rattle cans make the car look exactly the same worth as the cans themself, Don't do it.

jadelauren Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The problem I'm having is as above, I travel 500 miles a week and my car needs a respray as the body work is getting fixed due to damage from the previous owner.How can I keep my paintwork preserved and show quality if rattle matte or rattle matte then gloss is a no go?My partners mx5 is rattled cream and that turned out quite clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 You just need good wax for protection. Things like stone chips are going to happen doing that milage but you'll never have " preserved and show quality " paintwork on a daily car doing that many miles. Don't rattle it, it will be streaky and look terrible. Get the panels your fixing sprayed up and save for a second 'show car' or another daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just don't tailgate anyone, don't go through big puddles, don't rally down the motorway, always use the two bucket method and wax the tits off it. Then when show season comes just fill in any stone chips that got through with sampler paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Get the damage repaired by a decent body shop and keep on top of the paint as much as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Bone94 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Look into plaster dipping, my brother in law is starting his own little shop up, if you look on the classifieds sections ther is a purple lupo and that's been plaster dipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Google "car bukkake" covering, it gives a good rich coat to cover the car and help aid against the repaired paint being damaged.

loepan Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 A cheaper alternative would be to plasti-dip it matte black, use the spray gun with the plasti-dip and it will conserve the paint work underneath, then you can just peel it off where and when you like no drama......google plasti-dip a car.....remember that car programme about people who make love to there cars....- think scott may have watched that :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
