I have some friends. Who have sprayed there push bikes matte black and they never lacquered it. Likeyou said it ruins the matte effect.

[LukeSR]

Surely you don't lacquer the finish because then you will loose the matte effect? I don't know

[wssoR]

ye that was my origional thought as said, but then ill be worried about it stone chipping easily

[ryan lang]

just try it on something else 1st?

[5T4R7ET N/A]

if you lacquer the parts they will go shiny.

i don't know if they do a matte lacquer, be good if they did.

If it stone chips, just bang on some more spray, but of the beauty of matte black lol

[james@cjperformance]

as said above they will go shiney, just keep a couple of tins of matt black paint in your boot for touch ups.laquer is a pain in the arse when it chips so matt is the way forward

you're all wrong folks.

and you know how i know???? Alan-e's matte black GT, the "Asbo GT" as its known, is obviously matte black...and how did he achieve said matte look?? why, simples of course! underneath it is the exact same black paint as all shiny black quadlights, however the LACQUER he has used is a matte effect lacquer, thereby giving the matte effect.

not often i answer a question in the tech section hehehe!

Phil us on the all. Matte lacquer. You'll probably get it as an additive to mix in to normal lacquer.

Instant win. Where can this be purchased?
