    I rattled one matt black years ago.
    What a waste of time and money.
    It looked 100% dog sh1t.

    I think rattle canning it is prob a waste of time better gettin a spray gun and get some one to mix up a matt finish paint at least that way you'd have a better more even finish

    But in all seriousness, don't matt black it!

    If you're insisting on using spray cans, spray it a non-matt colour and go all out on the wet sand and lacquering. Will be a shonky job but will still look better than a murdered out black colour!

    @calibra-keith, are you sure it was Matt and not Satin? as Satin has that sheen to it.

    100% cheap ass matt black, cost about a tenner it was only done so it didn't look as bad after fitting new panels, it was red and was going to get it resprayed after winter couple of year ago but sold it. may look satin becasuse it was wet in picture.
