Flat Finish
I want to paint my truck in a flat finish , in the past I've used two part epoxy primer but I want more color choices this time than white, black, and red.
I was wondering if using two part paint without the clear coat would work, seal out water and hold up in the weather?
Does anyone make a flat clear coat?
I'm not half bad with a wrench but paint and body work has never come easy to me!
Can any one here help me with what options I would have for a flat finish paint job?

I couldn't find it in my search, but I recall reading that the base coat is porus and will not hold up to the weather without the clear coat on it.
According to this older thread (post # 7) there is a flattening agent for the clear coat but you have to be good at painting or willing to live with whatever imperfections that may occur because sanding them out will shine the clear coat.

I use House of Kolor stuff and they offer a flattening agent you just add to whatever you're spraying.
Flattening Agent
With the popularity of matte finishes these days, I assume all the other manufacturers have something similar.
