    As for me, I have conventional matte black paint, and it's fairly arduous. Before I had a life, it looked quite spectacular, but sometimes you have to drive your car too and not just polish it (as he would say).



    Has anyone here tried coatings for Basalt Black cars such as Supaguard. I'd be interested in people's views on whether these are worthwhile and the pros and cons.

    I recently saw a totally mat (and I mean mat!) black 993. Very very special. I made some pics, and will post them as soon as I find them again...

    Couldn't find the pics I mentionned, but I saw the car again yesterday. It even got a fresh new paint!
    Enjoy...

    Re: 997 turbo at the 'Ring

    Thanks for the pics Pierre I wanted too see how a mat black would actually look but its strange... I look at it, and look at it, and look at it again, and I can't decide wether I love it or hate it!

    Re: 997 turbo at the 'Ring

    Yeah, very special indeed. And what makes this car looks a bit odd too is the fact it's sitting pretty high. Lower it, and it might look very different.

    It looks straight out of an old computer game

    Re: 997 turbo at the 'Ring

    I've posted this picture before, but here it is again. apparently, from what I've heard, there are already several matte black cayennes driving around in switzerland...

    Re: 997 turbo at the 'Ring

    Thanks a lot Pierre... Now I know I should not order my 997 in mat black...:P It is very special, but I think the rims should match the car... these look a bit too flashy in comparison with the mat black paint.
    BTW; this is in the garage... were you there because of probs with the tt?!?

    That strange sensation you can feel is the result of a suppressed latent desire to start polishing the car.
