Making glass look matte?

I was just wondering if there was a way to make glass appear matte but still be clear enough like regular glass. I tried google but didn't find anything. I thought it would be different.

What i your intended purpose to "matte" you glass? Glass must be glossy to be visually clear. Otherwise, you will impair the purpose of it being glass.

I thought it would be cool to have a completely matte car. I've always liked flat black and thought matte glass would be a cool idea, but I didn't think it was possible either.

Glass only works because light can pass through it. Black (matte black, I'm assuming you're talking about) is black because it absorbs all of the light and doesn't let any pass through or reflect. Science tells us that what you want to do is completely impossible.

I know but it was just a thought. I understand the science and everything but it was just an idea I had
