What's the hassle with matte paint?
Its a whole process to keep clean. Different finish requires a different technique to cleaning, it can become stained, and any imperfections (like bird poop) need to be taken care of fast or they'll ruin the paint. In general, matte paint has a much higher upkeep and maintenance.
