[Moderator's note: Early cars, I don't have the VIN number cutoff in front of me, had a clear coat finish that gave the facias a high degree of shine. For whatever reason later cars had the finish minus the clear coat. I belive the paint formula was the same for both.] The original paint formula will give you the "matt" finish. A lot of DeLorean owners are adding a second clear gloss coat over the original formula. Its a owner preference. Here is a link to my painting experience including where to find a PPG paint distributer. http://personal.picusnet.com/dsontos/painting.html Dave Sontos vin 02573 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Watkins Family" <watbmv@xxxx> To: "DMC News list" <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2002 7:26 PM Subject: [DML] Facia's Glossy/Matte > Is there a distinct difference in the Glossy facia and the Matte?
