Have we got any painters on here (automotive)

Just need a bit of advice from someone who is in the painting game and has dealt with satin matt paint finishes.
So i plan to respray my silver fzs600 in satin metallic blue, i had a zx10r which had a satin grey/gold paintjob and it looked sweet, and need to give the old foccer a new look, after selling the old damaged bikini fairing.
I have bought and a different bikini fairing and a new bellypan to refresh the look it.
So my questions are these.
Is metallic (blue) available in a satin matt finish?
Is it more difficult to paint with rather than a usual shiny metallic paint?
Do i need to get the painter to go over the base coat with a matt clear coat as well?
Can i use nano on the finished paint?
Any helpful advise would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Use the standard base coat with either a matt or satin clear coat ,the finish is your choice

+1. you can even use the non matt clearcoat if you spray at high pressure and from a greater distance, it will dry virtually on impact as a dust more than a wet spray. You get a good tough finish like that. Personally, id use cellulose for the base coat colours and two pack for the lacquer/clearcoat.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm not doing the work myself as i want a good finish
As im not upto speed with painting techniques, i just want to clarify the points you are making, forgive my dumbness.
So basically just get a regular metallic blue paint and then use a satin clear
Whats the difference between cellulose and 2 pack?
I've just painted my forks gold with a rattle can the finish is good but thats where my painting knowledge stops
Couple more questions
Do i need a special primer for this, obviously the tank is metal and the other parts a mixture of plastic and fibreglass.
Thanks

cellulose will dissolve with petrol etc, 2 pack wont mate. so cellulose is a good base coat (cheap, thin, easy to mix and apply, far less dangerous fumes) whilst two pack is a good durable deep final coat

and yeah, you need acid etch primer for the tank, along with two pack primer over that. these a lot too it in truth for a pukka finish, hence the cost of getting it done properly

Wow some nice metal there , paintjobs look amazing fella !!
I really appreciate your advice, now i've got to translate this all into lithuanian so when i go in the shop they dont just look at me like a fcuking alien... sometimes i miss england for the simplicity of language.
Hopefully the shop will have all the right stuff im after.
