^^^^^^ The brand is RM. The black is the 403 tint base and the clear is 4300 with flattening agent. The sheen of the flattening agent is Matte. I ordered all new emblems from graphik concepts. The emblems they sent me were perfect

VERY nice. Exactly what I'm in the process of doing to my truck right now (have it all apart and doing the body work).
Nice inspiration to get it finished! Hopefully it'll look almost that good!
What did you do to prep the cladding?

Re: My truck with fresh paint at matte finish cladding
To prep the cladding I started with a de-waxer and literally went over and over the pieces to remove all of the years of crap that I had put on them. That's the only bad thing about using products to make the plastic shiney! If you don't do this you risk getting some major fish eye in the new paint and it will look bad! Any automotive paint supplier will carry a good de-waxer. When I was done with that part I used 220 grit paper and sanded all of the parts down. I made sure to sand enough to get that gray, ashy , sun-baked looking top coat off of the cladding. I did have several repairs to make ( cracks and chips ). There is a product called Fusor - extreme bumper repair and it is by far the best thing you will ever use. If you have any repairs to make I highly suggest that you check your local auto body supply shops to see if they carry it. When I was done with all of that I used a good primer to seal everything up and cover up the sand scratches and let it sit for a couple of days. Take some 600 grit ( wet) and your ready to paint.
