I was told the following: “ no matte color is available for this production date”. My production is in July

They can't be ordered. The system just kicks it back. All Magno finishes are unavailable in the US

That's a bummer. I think the G looks best in Matte. I am not getting matte myself as most of my driving is to Vermont (the amount of bugs i hit is nothing short of record setting!). I am getting obsidian black and ceramic pro-ing the **** of them.

For me, it depends heavily on the specific color choice, not just whether it's matte or not.

I've seen black and IIRC pal silver/grey? matte IRL and both were underwhelming.

Agreed on the black matte, but I've seen the Platinum Magno and Olive Magno matte options and liked both. A true military tan matte (what I initially expected Desert Sand would be) would also look great IMHO, but they don't offer that. The Desert Sand glossy option that they do offer is absolutely hideous in person IMHO.

I saw a matte black in person and agree it looks better in pictures. Would like to see the yellow olive. Platinum Magno was my original choice but I think it’s just too light. Would prefer Selenite Magno.
