Just leave it as a thought and don't do it...
Matte finishes are difficult to paint.
They are more expensive than gloss.
They're not as strong as gloss finishes.
They can't be touched up or blown in if damaged.
They can't be polished.
They must factor for a greater amount of surface inclusion during finishing.
If you still really want a matte finish after reading that, drop any one of the refinishers an email. Then when it's done, get it wrapped at CycleWrap.
