I have a 98 CBR f3 was thinking of painting my bike matte white.

i would think it would get dirty easier, because generally matte is not as smooth as gloss, and therefore collects dirt more.

Search for the Duc 848 thread. There is a pic of the bike in white and it is damn sexy.

Hi project if you want to go with matte, paint companies make an actual clearcoat that will dry matte.this will give it some protection from the dirt and grim.Not as effective as gloss clearcoat but it with stand a lot of stuff.I painted my bike 4 years ago with it except flat black and it still looks great.I been painting bikes and cars for ten years now and that's going to be your best bet for a matte finish that will hold up.PPG and Nexa makes the best products in my opinion.
