Matte paint worth it??
I am having trouble deciding between matte paint or metallic paint on my G63. The reason is because I live in Canada and the winters here can be pretty harsh on the paint. So for people who do own a G wagon with matte paint is it hard maintaining the paint?.

I live in Canada as well and had the same dilemma when I ordered my G, the salt and gravel is really harsh on the paint. I ended up going with obsidian black metallic and had the car covered in xpel and ceramic coated.
If you want matte I would buy metallic then get it covered in xpel stealth (matte) costs $12k-$14k depending where you take it. Kills two birds with one stone, your car is fully protected and you get the matte look. Just make sure you find a good installer.

2021 Night Black Magno G63
I got my 2021 G63 with designo night black magno and absolutely love it! I would never want a regular gloss black paint ever again on a G after getting this color this time around. I got XPel Stealth PPF as soon as the car arrived and everything is perfect.
