Matte Finish Care And Protection
Matte paint is a unique exterior treatment that gives your Fiat 500X a distinctive
appearance. Matte finishes are different from other automotive paints and need special
care to maintain their appearance. Typical gloss paints use a high gloss clear-coat finish
that reflects light and gives a shiny appearance. A matte finish uses a different coating that
diffuses light, providing a unique ?flat? finish. Unlike a typical high gloss clear-coat, damage
to the matte coating (such as scratches or wear from aggressive cleaning) cannot be
polished or buffed out. Once an area is damaged or becomes shiny, the ?flat? appearance
cannot be restored.
