Purchased a 2011 E63 yesterday...

Designo magno cashmere (matte white), pano, 19's...etc. Though I only drove it home, I am very happy with the new ride!

Does anyone know of a matte clear bra product that designed for matte paint. Obviously the standard product will contrast with the paint. Any input or guidance will be much appreciated!

Congrats. I've only seen the std stuff. Matte is relatively new to this market.

Post some pics when you get a chance. Would love to see your car.

Must see pics .... NOW.

While a clear bra seems like a good idea on normal paint I would hate to see what it does or detract from matte paint. It might make it more shiny and that would not be the idea or intent of matte paint.

I say leave it. But then I dont ever clear bra any of my cars- I just dont follow big trucks or drive on fresh paved roads

Can't wait to see pics!

Have you thought about wrapping the car in the exact color of the car? That would keep the paint like new. Just a thought.

Great idea!!! Mercedes has a few SLS's wrapped @ driving events and the wrap is virtually indistinguishable from the designo matte. Though I haven't seen it they have wrapped an SLS in carbon fiber that is stunning.

I WILL have pictures posted nlt than mid afternoon!

You mean the entire car? Not only would it cost a TON, including the price of the Designo Matte from the factory, but what would be the point of purchasing the $4K Matte Paint from the factory, when you could have just gotten regular white, and wrap it in the Matte color, and save $4K?

I'm also looking for a clear bra for my 2011 E63. I called the company that installed one on my previous car (530i) and they said that they cannot find a template for the 2011 E63. Does the 2011 E63 have the same hood as the 2010, 2009, etc. If so, they can probably cut a template to match. All that I'm going to have covered is the hood; nothing else.

I currently have a 3M clear bra on my 2006 BMW 530i and have had no problems. It has held up without any cracking or discoloration. My installer now recommends using an Avery product.

The BEST clear bra installers are the guys from Premier Mobile Group. The do amazing work. They are actually sponsors on this forum and a bunch of other car forums as well. They use Venture Shield film, which is now owned by 3M I believe.

These are the designo cashmere white W212 E63 AMG, with a CF package that I found at a dealer.
SICK ! but of course, cost a lot more..
That looks money to say the least! Looks really good. How much more is that option?

Nice car! I saw a matte white E63 like yours at a dealer in Jax FL. Looks even better in person! The pics just don't do the color justice!!

Carbon fiber. Fibre if you're from Canada.
