    If done with proper cans it can be done.
    My nova is done with rattle cans, but not the ones you buy at hallfords.

    There is a paintshop close to where i live that makes m on request, using proper sikkens paint, and special high pressure cans with special nozzles.
    It does cost about 18 quid a can, and i needed about 1 for each panel.

    you do not want matt black, matt black cannot be washed properly. what you need is satin black.





    and before you ask if i lacquered it, no of course i didnt, if i had it would be shiny
