    That looks absolutely shit. IMO matte is for older cars. Like Ari666's Impala.

    Well yeah it's definitely different. And Bentleys are so expensive to even think of modifying it.

    I mean matte can look good, even on modern cars, it just has to be done very very well.

    I think it looks dirty. Ive never liked it. Although, I have seen it on some cars and thought it suits and looks well done. But most of the time I look at it and think it needs a wash.

    That looks sweet if you ask me...how is there a shade of blue on the front lights? (which matches the paint on the brakes)

    those flat finishes just look like a bad paint job to me.
    usually that's the sort of finish backyard jobs end up looking like when they spray too dry ie blackboard paint.

    Personally I hate the look. I've always wondered how people clean these cars. Just about anything you use would just rub the crap further into the paint. And you can't exactly polish marks out either.

    Who cares if you can't polish marks out, you just get the pressure pack out and "respray" it .

    When done correctly, they are clear coated in a matt sheen level, so cleaning is quite easy.
