Default Matte blue wrap

I really like this color but I don't want a wrap and I know how to spray in the matte finish but I was wondering has anyone had this color blue sprayed before , so I can get the color as close as possible

That's a lashway car I think that's the company name . It's a 3m wrap . Order a small piece go to a paint shop give it to them . I've seen a nice machine they use it takes close up pics in different shades to get a exact match .

Why are you against wrapping it? For a matte color, vinyl is the way to go.
