Just heard back from the dealer. He wrote "There are some matte finishes coming out in some of the higher priced cars. The C63 however does not have a Matte finish available." Do you think if I just tell them I'll pay up for it, they'll do it?

It'll most likely be a special order option ($$), but you can most definitely get it done.
AMG will do anything you'd like to the car as long as it doesn't require any additional crash testing.

It's a designo color. 3 available matte finishes, black, grey and white. In Canada it's only available on the SL and the E. Can't order a C63 with that color yet.

We sold one and have another one the showroom the SL63 IWC edition is absolute eye candy. Everyone should take a trip to see it in person, no pictures can capture how it really looks.

There is one C63 in Canada with designo matte paint (MAGNO platinum). I believe it was retailed in Montreal.

Much as I love the white, I would think repainting any part of the car and getting the overall sheen to match the original paint so as to be indistinguishable would be an absolute nightmare.

I found this on m3 forum:

It's a matte clear bra. If I know they had this, I would use this instead of the regular clear bra.

You cannot wax or polish a matte finish with traditional products (or it will become somewhat glossy). Swissvax makes a wax specifically for matte finish, perhaps others do as well.

Since you cannot polish a matte finish, if you get a scratch, you have to repaint the panel. Matching the paint is not a problem, it is just a different clearcoat (with a flattening agent). The base coat itself is the same.

Great find Mike! Kudos. This paintjob is amazing. You will never get this effect with vinyl.... but the price is crazy
I suppose I don't have to tell you that the C63 estate is just spectacular
