Okay I just finished spraying on the last few coats of paint on my new wheels. I took my time prepping and all that and so far the wheels look great. However I really want to prevent the paint from chipping. My first thought was clear coat obviously, however I want to keep the matte finish (the wheels are now matte/flat black). Is there any sort of matte or maybe even satin clear coat that comes in a spray can? I searched around google and no luck. Thanks, Jason.

No I got the paint from Kragen but I will call autozone right now. So this stuff won't have any gloss, or just minimal??

Coastek do you have any pics after the low gloss w/out the polishing? Also after you painted them and put on the clear coat how did the paint hold up?
