It would look better with the chrome blacked out and and alot of CF parts and gunmetal wheels to make it look real deal, I agree the way it stands it kinda looks like primer. Also, the baddest matte color is silver, that color doesn't look like primer.

Your car looks insane. Great job!
Lets see, I live 10 minutes from lower manhattan, work in financial services (yes I still have a job and no its not going anywhere), am 6' and weigh about 16X.

And I think it looks awful, so I guess that blows your theory out of the water.

um thats the 3-4 yr old look, not the future.


Also it's a wrap not a paint job to those who don't know. And I have to say my personal .02 this car doesn't look good at all. Need to lose the chrome and different rims then it would be nice looking .

As some do not seem to understand this is a sticker as such, it can be taken off. Its just an other way to change car color with out repainting it
Pic qulity is not very good also to give you a real feel for this color

secondly you have to see mat black in person before you say it looks crap. It looks very mean and thats what a C63 is suposed to be. If it was an S or CL 63 then maybe yes, but the C is anything goes, as its aimed at a younger crowed

here is an other merc with mat black, please tell me it looks crap to

The matte style looks amazing. Looks way better and more aggressive than any glossy paint. Not to say the gloss doesn't look good on the C63, but the matte is much hotter. AMG does fantastic matte finishes from the AMG performance studio. Negatives are that it scratches easily, wears much faster and cannot be touched up. That is the only reason I chose not to go with the matte silver. But overall, looks way better on the C63. There's nothing wrong with matte envy.

I love the matte look, but this is too flat. It does look like primer. It could be the lighting and camera though. It needs more of a satin sheen, with the chrome pieces painted gloss black.

I don't like it at all. I'm not being a hater, just expressing my opinion.

People thought how they dressed in the 60's (hippies) and 70's (disco) was really cool too. We now know better.

This is Matte/Satin BLACK it works because it doesn't look like you took a steel-wool pad to your ride, it has a bit of sheen/gloss to it compared to PLAIN FLAT BLACK looks exactly like PRIMER

This works Matte/Satin




KRAP Primer look dry Flat-black
