Paint issue?

Hey. Spring is closing in on us here in Finland, thus meaning that the trees are gonna start sprouting leaves again real soon. This in turn means that the wet crap of the leaves is gonna start dripping down on the paint. Now i know that this can cause issues if left on for a longer duration, but how would it affect matte paint?
Hope you know what i'm talking about, and if not then you don't have the same vegetation we do here...it's a pain in the a$$.

Go watch Jeremy Clarksons review of the ZCP Frozen Grey M3. That should give you an ideal of what you're in store for. Good luck!

I saw Jeremy Clarkson's review of the matte paint finish on the M3. He said there are many things that get on the paint that immediately leave a permament stain on the finish. Nothing you can do about it.
