I'm not planning on painting my Hummelbird when it's finished, however, I would like to paint the cowling so it's not reflective. I've been looking at Cerakote, specifically this air-cured variant:

They have a few matte colors I'm thinking of, if you click on one there are links to application guides, data sheets, etc.
A layer of this is .001" thick, so it shouldn't add much weight. It is quite pricey, but I would only need it for that one panel, so I could get by with their smallest size (4 oz. - $35), and have some left for interior trim pieces.
Anyone have any experience with it? Any reason not to use it?
