Lightbulb Have an idea of Matte black S-Class

Saw the CLS w/ Matte blk and jot an interest in doing one this color, but w/ Bronze accent like the 5axis who did Lexus ISF for the Auto show.

Or with red flake instead of bronze flake on the paint?
Input and comment would be greatly appreciated.

W220
have a vinyl shop wrap your car so you can remove it if you don't like it. i think there is an M5 running around like that locally to me.

Not everyone will agree w/ the flat blk, but it does has an interesting respond on the street, with many asking for the pricing to do exact paint job.
The color that doesn't appear in the pics are the red pearl accent that will reflect w/ the direct lighting and at night.

Just can't get my head around the flat black. I look at it and want to wash it.

OK, not to be hatin' but the first thing that comes to mind when I look at that S600 is "must have been a hell of a sandstorm."

But this matte black car is spectacular:

Why? Clearly there's something going on with the latter finish. It's not as simple as "matte black." Anyone know more about these high-tech matte finishes? How are they done and what makes them look so great?

I think it looks OK but it missing something. Needs to be a little more satin like finish.

Also how did you paint the taillights?

There is a difference between flat black ie ugly, ie that NASTY W220 and satin black like the lexus, slr and cls.

Satin black for the win.
