This works Matte/Satin

KRAP Primer look dry Flat-black

Would that be just the quality of the pics??? Or the paint is totally different???

yeah, one is flat black, the other is matte. There is a difference in the paint, which is why the exotics look pretty good and the c63 looks plain dull and crappy.

the grey matte in post#52 is why it should look. the black in the picture beneath it is a totally different look.

Matt look is a great concept but I cant picture that on a 4 door sedan.

It looks great on exotics though

If you're going to go matte black..

you really should complete the look by swapping out all the trim to black. Case in point the brabus bullitt... matte black done right.

I am trying to figure out why it is that people are under the impression that, that is my car...?!?!? Are some of you guys not noticing the car's features and the fact that it is a European model C63.. and that I live in Canada..

It looks huge especially with the steam roller rear tires and the sleeker looking rear diffuser. Is this a concept or production available car?

It's completely special order, and well over half a million dollars i believe. Each Bullitt is almost entirely handmade, and everything from the C63 is gutted and replaced with Brabus-production bits and pieces. The 6.2 liter engine is replaced with a Brabus-tuned V12 bi-turbo from a brand new S/SL/CL 65 AMG. Brabus big brakes are added as well, along with carbon fiber front seats, Brabus steering wheel, etc., etc.

Brabus has a production version of the C63 AMG with all of their bolt-on mods and exhaust parts that fit the stock AMG bumper, a tuned/expanded red Brabus airbox/engine cover, and an ECU tune to go with, which they call the Brabus C63S. However, the Brabus body kit is available for this version as well, and so is the matte paint.

Really not even the same car after what brabus did to it. From the exterior to the interior, it's truly a rare car. Personally, I like what they did to the interior better than the exterior, i think it rivals any handmade exotic car interiors out there. Here is a link to the specs.

The brabus looks great, the first C posted here, those shiny windows contrast too much with the matte finish. Window tint allround may give better results.

There's one car i really like in matte black and that's the SLR:

Well at least if it is vinal, maybe it can be peeled off of it. I am sorry but it looks like scheisse to me. Like the bottom of a teflon coated pan. Now if it absorbed radar that would be cool.
