Next-Gen Car Finishes: How Matte, Satin, Metallic & Pearlescent Paints Are Changing Auto Styling

In this world, people with car paint standards evolve. It used to be the day when gloss was all there was. Now matte, satin, metallic, and pearlescent car finishes are such a revolution in the way vehicles look and feel. These new finishes are exciting, even to the seasoned DIY person, the body shop owner, or a professional detailer in the industry.

At Central Paints Trade, our premium supplies of automotive paints, including primers, clearcoats, 2K paints, aerosol sprays, sanding abrasives, masking tape, body filler, and trade paint products, will make it possible for you to get these looks hassle-free.

Matte Finishes: Subtle, Sleek, and Modern

Matte car paint creates an unbright sheen soft enough to turn heads without the dazzle. It offers a perfect contemporary look for the understated vehicles.

• Pro Tip: For an even matte finish, use high-quality primers and 2K paints.
• CPT Offerings: Easy and durable application due to matte clearcoats and trade paint supplies.
  

Satin Finishes: The Perfect Balance

Satin finishes are semi-gloss, offering the perfect balance between matte and full gloss. They are easy to maintain and work beautifully for both new cars and restorations.

• Pro Tip: Pair with a body filler for smooth surfaces before applying the satin coat.
• CPT Products: Satin clearcoats and masking tape help achieve a flawless edge.

Metallic Finishes: Shine and Sparkle.

Metallic coats are made up of tiny reflective particles that give a sparkling, shimmering look in sunlight. They bring great depth and richness to any vehicle, making them appear more premium.

• Pro Tip: Proper sanding abrasives and primer application are essential to prevent streaks.
• CPT Products: CPT's metallic 2K paints and aerosol sprays ensure professional quality results.

Pearlescent Finishes: Colour Changing Magic.

Pearlescent colours contain mica or ceramic flakes that change colour under light and viewing angle. The effect is dynamic and super luxurious, adored by car lovers and collectors.

• Pro Tip: Always apply over a compatible primer to enhance the pearlescent effect.
• CPT Products: Use pearlescent clearcoats and professional refinishing materials for best results.
