I'm looking for a very rough matt style of paint that I painted my last Baja in.

It's an industrial enamel and I now kicking myself for throwing the tin away. I've emailed about 10 industrial coatings places and currently awaiting replies.

Hoping someone here might be able to help.

I know of an industrial enamel that is available in a few colours, black gloss, satin etc. It is used on Caterpillar bulldozers, and is super tough. I will let you know what I find.

I have to agree with HoneyAbba.
Matte paint is a bastard to keep in good condition, your best best is a vinyl cover for the car.
They're not really that expensive (compared to a full body spray of a car at a shop), easily applied and can also be changed very easily if your mind changes.

I don't know who is closest, but found this in NSW.

Might be worth giving them a call and discuss what you want to do!
