Once the matte black paint dried, you could clearly see how the factory paint is actually a bit glossy.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that to you...you should sand it down and wipe it down with warm water and dish soap to remove any of the plastic release agent from the mold. Sanding it gives the Primer a surface to stick to. I recommend finding the automotive primer as it is made to be thick and durable and then of course sealing it with the matte varnish to just give it a hard shell clear coat to protect the primer from chipping and scratches.
