I'd like to put the steel hood back on and go turbine bronze metallic over everything. Gotcha. Then talk to the paint jobber and see what's available. There has to be something in a matte finish that is cost effective. You really don't want a primer as you don't get the UV protection. It will chalk up fast in the sun.

Has the heavier matte look even with a little texture and when you don't want it any longer it peels right off. It's actually made to be removed when you're ready. I've seen wheels, badges, grills..just about everything done in that stuff.

How many cans would it take to do a top, and is it too large a surface area to get it to spray out nice?

They also make a spray for after you dip for UV protection and added scratch resistance. This stuff is almost made for what you are looking to do. I put a link below to check out their site. It's cheap too. You can get it at lowes for like 9 bucks a can and I would think 3 or 4 cans tops would do it. https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php?gclid=CNHukLDcx8ACFa_m7AodbysAUw

But, I'm with the once and done theory on this as the factory leaded seams are not usually 100% to look nice painted without additional bodywork.
