You guys are lost, it's NOT the Matte/Satin finish being done properly or tinting
Windows to make it look good, the 1st pix of C63 are in FLAT BLACK giving it a PRIMER SANDED FINISH look, which is aweful

That car is hot...................................NOT. If you are gonna do this might as well call the factory tell em to not paint ur car, and maybe you will receive a discount on it....for no paint. But everyone has their own taste I guess

CLK Black
I had a chance to talk with AMG regarding their matte finishes while visiting in Germany.
The matte is actually the clear coat. This allows them to do metallic colors with a matte look. In the dark it looks matte, in the sunlight brilliant.
Totally sick.
I saw pictures over on the AMG Private Lounge of a CLK Black that had a silver finish that was insane.
I think this is the same car.....

matte black's been done to death. Seriously considered it on my old yukon XL but in the end I'm glad I didn't

Looks cheap! 
That's how cheap replacement car parts are delivered in Croatia, so when people crash their car, buy replacement parts and don't have enough money to paint them, that is how their car looks like! 
Gloss is the boss!

Your talking about primer, and yes the car is a vinyl wrap. The factory paint jobs from MB will stun you.

I have seen a white SL63 with the same finish in person and loved it. It is a factory option for the SL. I loved how different it was from the rest, but it did look a bit plastic-y. Still I loved it and kept staring. My wife hated it, so I guess I'll never have one...
As the posts reflect, you either love it or hate it.

I saw the matte white IWC edition SL at a local dealership, holy cow, I think it was one of the most amazing cars I've ever seen in person!

I don't like matte. There was a white SL63 in matte white @ the dealer and it looks like they forgot the clear coat. My wife looked at it and she commented, "it looks unfinished."
