about matte clear coat
(vehicles with a CFRP
[Carbon Fiber Rein-

forced Plastic] roof)

The body of a vehicle is
painted with layers of sev-
eral different coatings to
enhance its durability and
appearance. The top layer is
called a clear coat.
Unlike a normal clear coat,
which enhances the glossy
appearance of the base
paint, matte clear coat gives
the base paint a non-glossy
finish with a unique texture.
In order to ensure the lon-
gevity of the matte clear
coat and its texture, special
care must be taken when
cleaning and storing the
vehicle.
