Possibly, when it's quite tasteful, but I am not a big fan of the Matt finish...

On the other hand, a definate NO, NO, NO...when it's something like this:

I also found some close ups on google, but just couldn't post them,
I think we may have to get admin to censor the image as it is indecent...

GT doesn't do it for me i'm afraid...although it is starting to grow on me a little.

Horses for courses, but completely bad *** with the matte black. Saw a Gallardo in matte black recently too, made it even more ballistic.

I am going to get my Prius wrapped now ... hahahahahaha

Dont think its the sort of marque to do this to if I am being honest. I suppose it can be a way of changing your car.

The only one I have seen and would consider, it this chrome finish, I really like it, but I expect when it gets scratched up and hazes through cleaning, it wont look so good, and at £3k to have done, aint cheap neither:

Wouldn't you need a fulltime detailer to keep the chrome clean though wouldn't you?

I do like matt black, infact I think a lot of colours could work in a matt finish, perhaps a nice Scarlet Matt Ferrari RED??

I am not sure about the wrap though. I think a matt black paint job would look awesome but I have never seen one in real life I sort of imagine it to look a bit like the vinyl roofs they used to put on the Holden Kingswoods here in Australia in the 70's.

I imagine it would start to tear and look tatty pretty quickly. Its got to do some damage to the paint though doesn't it?

Its the Mad Max look....the matt black finish......................looks truly awful if car not kept very well...and a huge put off to a fair proportion of car owners....not for the faint hearted.....only for the true petrolhead!!!!!!!!

Saw a matt black 430 a few days ago. Didn't like it. The basic Ducatis came matt black - it was the cheap option and I thought the 430 looked the same. It also did not look clean and I think keeping it clean could be a real issue. It is fine for a Mad Max rough and ready road warrior but not a classy Italian sports car.

JMHO of course.

Totally agree , that or a track day car ,but not for an everyday gentlemans sports tourer , thats for sure

There is a rude boy Nova in matt black next door to me...He paid £2000 to have done.....£1995 more than the cars worth....It just doesn't suit any car to be honest bar the Loz comments. Last year Lotus bought out a limited edition Exige in matt black also....Just didn't do anything for the car at all....And it must be terrible to keep clean.
