Matte?

does anyone have matte on their GLE? i've seen the 2020 GLCs have the original MB designo magno grey which is pretty much matte and it looks awesome. obviously they don't have it on the GLE as original.
wondering why there isn't much of a demand of it, would it not look nicer compared to some of the others on it like the range rovers or the G wagon similar to the below?
what are all your thoughts on matte?

I would have jumped on that option if it had been available.

GLE 300d (v167)
You can always get a car with a similar colour to what you'd want and then wrap it?

I previously bought a black C class (w204) back when it launched and then took it straight to get the whole thing vinyl wrapped (here in Sydney). It looked so perfectly done that everyone thought it was the factory paint. The guys who did it disassembled the car to wrap each piece individually with the vinyl cut to follow the curves of each part so it left a consistent margin across every panel. I was gobsmacked.

I have on order a custom order GLS580 with Mojave silver. When it arrives I will leave it to autoshield and they will put on Xpel stealth on it to make it matte!

I think matte paint is awesome and when you combine ppf to it it’s win-win!

Will upload something picture when it’s done, sometime in May I would think...

Happy holidays!

Anyone out there resprayed a panel on there Selenite grey magno car and the process needed to match the panel with the rest of the car? The new panel on mine is very matt whilst the rest of the car has a slight sheen so there must be I guess a process hopefully to match it to the rest of the car I need to take. Any help would be much appreciated. Best garno
