Matte Red C63

Has anyone seen one? I really love the look of both matte cars and red cars. So i wanted to see what it would look like together. I searched the web but all of the cars i saw either look too orange or too faded. I want the matte look with the POP of the red C63's (like cool's). I really just love the look of carbon fiber with red.

What do you guys think? Opinions welcome

I think matte red will look pink/purple/orange to the naked eye. kind of like what oxidized red paint looks like.

I've been toying with the idea of a matte wrap. The pictures of matte cars online only look decent. I'm sure it would look cooler in person, but I may not be convinced until I see it with my own eyes. I think the sheen is what makes it look faded. I've only seen matte black up close in person and it looks okay, depending in how the car is sculpted. On neoprufrok's BS, it looked awesome.

I agree, the black and gray mattes look sick in person. Every BS that I see with a matte paint job makes me jealous that I have glossy black (which looks awesome) but the matte is just so unique. Honestly Cool, your C with the Carbon Fiber parts is what made me want to do this wrap haha :P. I just really want the red to not look so dull, I imagine it being a bright red just without the shine...

Would you be able to work around a diffuser/spoiler? Or would those have to be removed?
