***FREE MATTE DIFFUSER, DIY INSIDE!***
I really like the look of the Matte diffusers everyone is raving about. So, instead of spending $700 on a new one, I decided to experiment and I think we nailed it.

Pick up a can of this stuff:


Tape up the ride (sorry, dont have pics) make sure the entire rear is taped because the spray will travel. I did two coats and I think it was enough...

BEFORE:


AFTER:









Time: An hour and a half

Cost: $10 for the spray, $2.50 for painters tape

Difficulty: Does not get any more noob
