Matte clear isn't really common on Cobalts, and usually those who get it are those going with a matte black.

I just recently painted my honda bike a flat white, I used VW cool white as the base and then a little toyota pearl, and finished off with "flex-a-flat" clear which pretty much made everything come together. camera won't do the trick but in person it looks absolutely amazing.

Doesn't matte paint end up chalky?

I've always read not to go Matte but Satin when it comes to paint.

satin is what I would probably consider the color of my bike up there, glad I went with that because the matte has no shine to it at all, I wanted some shine as I'm sure someone with a new vehicle would want also. I have no chalkeyness at all, it still shines in the light like day 1 and looks booring and flat white when there is no sun out..

Why not try a vinyl wrap OP? You can have it taken off if you ever sell the car. Just a thought.

This guys did a G37 in Grey matte Silver wrapping. You can understand how it work.
It's perfect to keep your paint clean

I was just looking into pricing for matte white vinyl wrap myself. A shop down here quoted me 2500, not too sure I wanna drop that cash yet but damn matte white is sexy.

DO IT.
