I absolutely HATE the plain jane, ugly and boring Flat/Matte colors they ship to the USA.

Overseas they have Gloss white, Gloss Gray, Gloss Blue and Gloss black along with the Matte/flat colors. If I could get all the PLASTIC off this AK and get it all back together again nice and tight I would have it all painted.

Everyone's EYES see differently and so I almost feel like I should not be stating this......

Like you said... everyone's eyes see differently. I wasn't so sure I'd like any of the Matte finishes. In fact I was really wanting to avoid them. But now I really like the Matte Deep Blue that I have and find it easier to clean and take care of... but also the Matte finishes have some needs for special care as well. No finish is perfect.

No need to apologize.....I  really dislike this latest fad of matte finishes, too!
I love the high gloss finishes on my 2 scooters.. Waxing them is a treat.
The next year red Liberty went matte...glad I bought the gloss 2018 model still in the box summer of 2017!

Gloss was the desired paint for a long time.....matte looks like the primer to me🙂
