Being a total paint noob, how hard is it to spray a flat color. I would assume its easier than a normal paint job, but I'm curious.

Check it out....Here's the stuff! http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/ksflatz.aspxI have bought a gallon of Tangerine Flatz and didn't use it when I went too far with a resto and panel replacement. I get Jeffs point, but if your going for a concept: GO FOR IT! I may do the blown 69 Coronet with the Tangerine.

PPG's DPLF90 epoxy primer has the same "look".
I don't know if epoxy primer is the same but Primers tend to be porous and allow air and water to come in contact with the metal. Not enough protection for the metal underneath.
epoxy primer wont do that. but it will get chalky in the sun and all. they make an entire line of flat paints now that hold up to the sun

I bought a gallon of black base and a gallon of flat clear and I'm going to give it a try this weekend on my 69 charger tub plus doors. I will be putting the vinyl top on it as well. Maybe it'll look something like this when I get done.
This car is killer looking   any more pic's

This is what those cars look like when you turn out the lights.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

 Interesting....
Anyway, I believe the technical term for the look you are trying to obtain is "satin". Try House of Colors or any major paint distributor. Everyone is painting the hot rods this way now....just a temporary fad. I agree with a previous post, the cash it takes to do body work and then lay a matte finish to it. It is sure a gamble.

Mercedes released a "Night Edition" SL550 in what they called Designo Satin Black.  There was a follow up with a satin white color. The white car had a pearl in the paint. It looked pretty good outside in the sun.

. The good thing about it is there decals and they can come back off pretty easy.
