hasn't been done to my knowledge. Just flat black on white, or CF on black only.

A matte black won't really look good on a gloss black paint. And as it is, it should be a contrast of colors. Like a red with black or as AZN said a white with black. That's just my opinion though. I'm getting a gloss black hood, roof and trunk on my Sanidine Beige C230. Shall give it off for the job in the coming 2-3 weeks and would be done in 3-4 days.

Why a Matte black roof on a black car?... taste?

Car is already black, there shouldn't be any difference. To me, there should be a contrast in the mod you are doing and not doing so by having different layers of the same color.. it would make the car look..... "funny"

But, it's your car and you do to it w/e as you please, i just wanted to state that... good luck
