Matte finish care guide from PPG
« on: March 22, 2022, 12:47:24 PM »
There are a lot of thoughts on the proper care of vehicles with a matte finish.

To borrow an insurance commercial - "PPG knows a thing or two about paint."

PPG has been supplying manufactures with high quality auto paint for decades - used by Tesla, Toyota, etc. - and so they have stepped into the current 'matte finish craze'* with instructions on the proper care of this type of paint.

*these "primer-like" matte finishes are not for everyone.  Fingers crossed that this passes quickly - as must the chin mullet :)

Whoa there Tiger!  I think I must speak up for us "chin mullet" wearers.  When it's the last (readily visible) place you can grow hair, indulge us!

As long as you don't grow it out enough to do a comb-over!  :o

I'd never heard the expression until a few days ago - in a movie a 12 yr old was describing the guy his mother was dating.
The kid has a few hilarious lines in the movie.
....nothing personal....🤜🤛
