My car's paint was trashed so I put a few layers of flat black on it A few weeks ago I added a metallic grey to it Is there any type of polish or wax for flat colors without a clear coat?
If you just want to protect the paint that you put on, any wax will do. Hard Shell wax is best. If you want to being out a shine, that's going to be hard with a flat black paint. Try a little rubbing compound with a lot of water. Wax after that.

Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?
Do you realize that you can get FLAT ACRYLIC PAINT. Flat paint refers to the gloss level. You may want Gloss, Satin, Lowsheen or Flat. Acrylic paint on the other hand refers to what the paint is based on or what binder is being used. Acrylic paint is also refered to as waterbased paint. You most likely are referring to putting flat acrylic over lowsheen or gloss acrylic. In answer to your question - as long as they are both acrylic than you will not have any problems. I am in this answer assuming that you are referring you house paints. If not than the same principle applies - acrylic over acrylic is fine. To keep acrylic from going glossy just don't polish it.

What to use to shine your car?
Aside from the standard storebought wax shines there are other ways to shine your car, The first thing you need is a good paint job on your car, if it is faded then purchase a product called a 'compounding' it is a very fine grit that will remove any oxidized paint (faded paint) from the paint surface. this alone will make it shine but it will need protection from the sun, dirt, etc. this can be done with any good wax. After all this work to get your shine on the car the one thing to remember is to keep it clean by washing it often, but of course the washing will remove the wax you put on it. so keeping the shine is hard work. in times past, chauffers who had to wash and wax the vehicles they drove had a 'trick' for keeping the shine on the car. when washing the car they put a cup of kerosine in the bucket of water they washed the car with. This left the car with the 'shine they wanted' but a word of caution if you try this: first it is flammable before it dries, then there OS the 'odor' of the kerosine and the kerosine can soften the paint so this would not be one that I would do very often, maybe only for special occasions because the shine especially on black paint is unbelievable! They is another benefit in using kerosine on your car, is that it will help prevent rust.

What is the best black car wax?
The best thing for all acrylic paint is to never put wax on it.Wax actually covers and dulls the factory mirror like shine.Today's acrylic paints benefit from acrylic paint conditioners.Acrylic paints have a unique shine on them. It is one that cannot be copied by aftermarket methods. Wax will dull it and Polish will destroy it.Look closely at the paint on a car that has been waxed and you will see spider webs and uneven swirl marks.This happens with the application of solid wax on acrylic paint.Look at the paint on a new car and you won't see any of these defects.conditioning the surface to preserve the factory shine is what acrylic paint conditioners do for the paint. Instead of covering and dulling they enhance the natural beauty and shine of the paint itself.The best treatment for a black car as well as any other color of automotive acrylic paint in my opinion is a spray on, non abrasive, 100% pure liquid Acrylic paint conditioner.It will protect and preserve the mirror like shine in new cars and bring it back in older cars
Can flat paint be painted over latex satin wall paint?
Yes, you can generally paint high gloss latex over flat latex paint. But you must do all the preparation work in the best tradition of any professional painter. All "flaking" must be removed and the raw wood primed. This will present a "smooth" surface for the new coating. Additionally, everything that is to be painted my be scrupulously clean and free of anything that will restrict the new latex from sticking to the old.
