dont know how much you would need but one of my mates roughed up a fiat panda 4x4 a bit with a scouring pad and painted it will blackboard baint. It didnt take much paint, lasted ages, and it is about a matt as it comes.

it's not to bad if you take the bonnet off and stand i Vertical and do it inside where there's no breeze
