Matte paints aren't durable.

If you as much as rub your finger on it with pressure you'll put a shiny spot on the paint that cannot be undone.

It's such a high-maintenance paint. I wouldn't want it on a car that I DD - people at the grocery store could touch it/rub it and ruin the paint job.

That being said, matte does look good when done on the right car.
