What do you guys think?
Isn't the matte finish the result of it having a matte clear coat? That was my understanding.

I would figure that the black paint underneath is probably the same as usual.

So, for example, wouldn't polishing a matte clear coat like you would a normal gloss clear coat tend to remove its matte properties?

IDK. For some reason this just seems odd to me.
