Re: whats better matrix or ppg?
Paint is paint and it all goes down to COVERAGE and number of coats/primer color base to achieve the color desired. ANY paint line can cover "depending" on color.If it's a "specality" color,your best off going high end on the base as it WILL do it's job as per the tech sheet on primer/base or in the case of a "great" base,cover reguardless of primer color within reason,especally with a solid color.Metallics are best left to the high end base's as they do their job and require less "work" to achieve desired results.
Your "biggest" concern will be the clear over it. I have "little" faith in Matrix's clears. I chose to stay with a "known" clear and will pay the price for IT because if you go "cheap" on the clear,you can have delam or bleeding issues later or sooner if it's a really cheap line such as Matrix or the 5* crap. For clears,I would go with SouthernPolyurethanes Universial or MS line as it works over ANY base or the "good" PPG line or even Dupont.Nason's high end is even a great choice as it's Duponts line "downsized" and is still a good product.

Re: whats better matrix or ppg?
I would stick with PPG unless they used the primers and such from Matrix. Paint solvents sometimes can cause mysterious issues when you don't stick to one source. Are the giving you a written warranty? Did it say it was with Matrix's system?
