Is matte or glossy better for cars?
A matte finish clear coat is just as durable as a glossy clear coat. You probably already know that glossy clear coats can chip and scratch. The issue with a matte finish is that there are no inexpensive means to repair those damaged spots. You can't cover isolated places with touch-up paint or buff them out.
Why do cars not have a matte finish?
Matte finish paint jobs are a nightmare to maintain, even a small swirl/scratch will stand out. And they are expensive too.
Why are cars glossy instead of matte?
The Quick Answer. Cars with gloss paint are easier to clean and care for compared to cars with matte finishes. Matte cars hide dust and dirt more, but need to be washed more regularly to prevent the build up of contaminants on the paint. Matte paint is also more expensive and harder to repair if the car is damaged.
Why are cars always shiny?
Cars are painted metal surfaces that are required to withstand weathering, power-washing, minor abrasions and so on. However, they're not usually handled. The paint has multiple layers and the top is a protective 'clearcoat' which provides the glossy finish.
