Meh, W208 lines look better in gloss paint. Magma Red on a 208 is my fav.
Good luck and take pics -- might turn out better than I envision.

Can't wait to see the pics! I just matte blacked my spoiler, rear badging, and hood vent on my w209.I thought about dipping my w209 matte white but then decided against it because it just didn't seem like it was the right type of car.
Also, the op is right about plasti dip being easy to remove if you apply it right... If your base isn't thick enough it's hard as hell to get off but if you apply enough coats it comes off remarkably easy!
@mrfrijita1989 you probably didn't apply enough coats to the wheels. The best way to get plasti dip off if you don't have enough coats is to apply extreamly thick coats and let it dry. Then it should be very easy to peel off because the new plasti dip you added will bond with the old stuff.
