He wanted me to do a black vinyl roof. To get that kind of matte textured finish, I used a matte spray and let it fall on the roof lightly. Turned out really well.



Looks good!!!!

Next time dont take the overspray film off and just cut out what you want in matte or flat and peel that section of the overspray film off then paint. Once your done pull all the film off and you are done no need to do all the extra masking when its all done for you at the start.
