I always think Lamborghinis look good in matte black, it fits their cars IMO.

It needs to be on the right car and it needs to be a high end paint job. Matte is actually really tough to get right. There are matte paints that are very easy to clean.
 
Yes. Done right. And even then, it's not.....amazing. Seems like a fad finish to me. Kinda like the rusty hoods. lol
 
I love matte black but I gotta say, but I hear its quite a pain in the ass to keep clean. Wraps on the other hand...
 
Drool. If there ever was a car MEANT to be matte/flat black, this is it.

Maybe, but I see spray lines in that car from that angle. Either that or the light is playing tricks. Matte is hard to spray. If you don't have exactly the right reducer for temperature and humidity you will get those lines. You can have problems in any paint but they show up nicely in a matte finish.
 
I saw one of these and imho it looked absolutely sick!

But it looks like WTF crap on most cars, worst offender I've seen was a Toyota Camry, AND the dude put Lambo doors on it on top of that.

BMW's matte finish on some (or all) of their high-end cars is actually a vinyl wrap. So, if you wanted to try it out, you wouldn't need to repaint.
 
Those are the best kills - especially when their pimply-faced girlfriends are with them.
