Matte is tricky to get done correctly hence costly. Someone here had their car wrapped in some nearly indestructible wrap and it cost him $5000.

That's prolly more cost effective than actually reprinting the car.

"Cam Only"
|
I sanded down my truck to bare metal and painted it matte black about 6 years ago (back before everyone was doing it lol)
Took about 3 months of working on it every weekend (an entire summer) but it turned out pretty good. Took the fenders off, bed off, shaved badges, whole thing. My dad and I did it all in our driveway and then assembled a huge ass tent and painted it with a paint gun hooked up to a compressor and everything. Was one of those fun summer with dad things. But I can really see why a full paint job costs so much. There was so much work involved.

 Powerdercoating is a process in which literally, a free-flowing fine powder is fogged onto a piece of metal. That metal has essentially a static charge, and the powder sticks. The piece then is cured in an oven, and the particulate powder flows and cures. Typically the powder is a type of plastic. This process has been in use in the automotive industry for a long, long time. The result is not usually a matte finish although I'm sure that in 2015 we can produce that effect. The classic result is a satin-like finish, and oh yes indeedy-do there is a difference, ask a guy that takes a restored car to shows in which he competes  The frame rails and control arms, radiator core support and brace, air cleaner, and inner fenders on for instance a 1970 Chevelle would be examples of powder coated parts.The main difference between a conventional paint finish and powder coating is that powder coating requires no solvent to bind the filler in a liquid state. Powder coating offers a hard, difficult to scratch finish and actually is superior to 'wet paint' in several ways such as blending colors and the elimination of runs or sags but powder coating perversely doesn't apply itself well to thin coatings. However thicker coatings is where powder coat really shows off and since the powder flows to find its own level, a very smooth finish can be obtained. I can't speak to the information you have been given but it is possible that the people you spoke to were unclear on what you meant...as you're not powder coating any part that can't be excited electrostatically.

Genius is often not appreciated in its own time

It is possible to powder coat an entire car. It would need to be stripped. But I'm sure that is not what the OP is looking to do.
