Re: Review: Dr. Beasley’s Matte Paint Coating by Mike Phillips
***Update***
Was over at my buddy Paul's shop over the weekend, the Duster was parked out front. Paul says it's been there for a while, not sure if that meant a few days or a few weeks. It's in for some clutch work I think?
Anyway, I took the time to take a look at the car and took these pictures with my iPhone camera.
First - Paul who is a professional car restorer, he told me he thinks the hood looks GREAT! And their shop painted it and he remembers what it looks like before it came to Autogeek. (It's been a few years since the entire car was painted including the matte finish paint on the hood).
Second - I thought it looked great. It's been Baking outside in SOUTH FLORIDA SUN and there's dirt spots on the coating (and the car) from the torrential rain we've had over the last few weeks. Miami was in the news because parts of Miami were flooded that's how much rain we've received.
One guy on Facebook, commented he didn't like it, said it was no longer matte. All I can say to him is,
You're not here. You're perfectly within your right to have an opinion after looking at the previous pictures I posted but... you're not here.
Standing in front of the car both BEFORE I detailed and after and I'm telling you the MATTE finish on this car looks GREAT!
I don't waste any time discussing anything with anyone on Facebook, it's always a waste of time.
Anyways... here's the pictures I took and even with dirt on the car and after sitting outside in the sun and rain for at least days and probably weeks, the matte finish still looks GREAT and it looks matte.
Here's what I call the frame-up shot, this frames of the car to show you where it's parked outside.
It's about 3:30pm and the sun is going down in the horizon, it's also behind my back as I take this shot....
Here you can see a dirt film building up on the hood and actually the entire car...
And here's the swirl-free paint after sanding and buffing using the Makita PO500C and SONAX products....

The above pictures look great(minus the dirt buildup )
In natural light it photographed well!!!
Back to the product, Mike. Do you know if it hydrophobic and if so does it cause water to bead on the matte finish. With so many vehicles having matte looks now it may be worth keeping this onhand. TIA

Re: Review: Dr. Beasley’s Matte Paint Coating by Mike Phillips
So what happens after the 1 to 3 years? Nothing lasts forever & it's not like you can just polish it off matte and remove it like you can on standard paint without changing the looks.
I have a friend that just got a new car matte painted and it came with the Dr. Matte Kit. As with most ceramic coatings at some point in time something could happen scratches or whatever or the end of life past the covered warranted time 1 to 3 years, so what happens after? is there a safe way to remove it or do you just recoat on top of the damaged or failed coating?
