How do I get matte paint?

[Roush_fan_99]

I am also looking for "fire black"...I have things I can trade if you like.

What does that look like? Does anyone have any pictures?

Btw just got my first gold chrome today! Woo hoo!............ After getting 510 cars.....

Believe it or not I have never gotten any matte paints from logging in, all the ones that I have have been sent to me.

Oh that's awful! Bad luck?

I have at least about 15 matte paint chips... and I buy a lot of cars... So I'm sure a few of them I've gotten from car amount bonus. But I'm pretty sure most of them I've gotten with my daily sign in bonus.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

I did recently finally get a silver chrome paint chip... and that was NOT from sign on bonus, it was from something else.

BTW: most of my matte paint chips are not actually colours that I would've preferred. So it's not all a bowl of cherries. LOL

You can buy cars with matte paint which will give you the matte paint chip.
Another way is by getting them through the daily paint chip gift.
You can also just keep buying cars and every 10 cars you buy, you get a paint chip. I remember getting quite a few matte paint chips from that.

Make a second account and log into it everyday as you would with your current account, then send yourself the paints you like
OR trade.

Which cars and which matte colours?

you want to trade something for your matte chips, btw what color are they?

The chromes are just called silver/gold chrome think (Just select chrome in the catagory list and you'll see if you have any in your list). It's strange because I never got the chrome colors at all and then suddenly I started getting them. I have 9 or 10 of each now. I have quite a few matte colors but for some reason have never received a matte black. (which of course is what I'd like the most)

what matte colors do you have? I can trade you a matte black for a couple of your other mattes.👍

look in the dealship under McLaren MP4 and you can see what it looks like on the car. It is like a shift color. I like it!

If you want to get rid of them maybe we can work something out!👍

I traded a Matte Gray for a Gold Chrome.
I recently got a Gold Chrome for my 150th car:tup:

I hope the mods don't take a fit about this not being the market place forum!

Anyway, MOST of my paint chips are NOT actually "colours" - they are gray, black, & white. I would rather they were all pink & light blue. lol

Well, the Marketplace is the right place for the serious trading when you are ready for that. But that is kind of the problem, it can get serious over there. I see a group of people here who are not into the trading community yet but wouldn't mind swapping a bit of paint, so to speak.

My advice would be to start a group on the site here for an informal trading circle. It will be more casual, less stressful and much easier that way.

Send me a FR and I will send you a couple of the lighter colors. I like them better too. I was thinking about sending you a FR soon anyway because I am looking to get into the vintage racing.

I disagree, there are new members with only 1 post that get what they need. Informal trading circle only works with people you know or else some bad apple will slip into the bunch.

I'm not trying to shoot your idea down, but I think your post discourages new members from using the marketplace and they shouldn't.

The mods aren't in the habbit of having a fit when a thread is in the wrong forum. They simply move it to the right forum.

And since this question thread has become a trading thread it certainly does belong in the trading forum.

To the original question: Next time you reach a multiple of 30 minus 1 (29, 59, 89, 119, etc) save your game to a memory stick. Then buy a car and get a special paint. Send that paint to a secondary account. Reload your save from the memory stick, buy a car... This will get you as many special paints as you want.

Fair enough. In that case, I would stick to The Paint Trading Thread. There it is understood paint is just traded for paint. If you just put up a post looking for a few matte paints, you get a lot of replies like "what tickets do you have?" and it turns out to be a hassle (in my experience). Otherwise, the Marketplace is a good community, good people.

The other reason I mentioned it was watermelonpunch's comment that this thread could get moved to the Marketplace. Trust is building within this thread and folks are starting to work out trades here, but it is more appropriate to happen in the Marketplace.

This thread does NOT belong in the marketplace, since the OP declared he was not willing to trade for matte paints... he just wanted to know how people get them in the 1st place. (Ie: without trading, ie: not a market place issue)
I think we should respect that. Not everyone wants to bother with trading.
