    Re: another matt 599

    Looks quite good, though I prefer grigorio for the 599. Saw one the other day it was amazing. It's stunning in flesh, yet anonymous enough not to cause a lot of fuss, quiet at low revs for simple cruising and a great exhaust note for proper driving

    I really envy those of you who are getting one

    Re: another matt 599

    The mat makes it feel like a test mule - works on some cars but this looks incomplete to me

    Re: another matt 599

    What is the paint process difference between matt and glossy finishes? Does matt have a clear coat or will paint be rubbed off when one polishes and waxes the car?

    Eesshhh. Reminds me of the finish on my very first car BETWEEN fixing the body rust and being able to afford the paint job. Also called. "Primer". Not my taste for a Ferrari.

    Exactly. It looks like a ferrari that's been in a terrible accident. It got fixed with second hand parts but the owner ran out of money before getting to the paint job.

    Re: another matt 599

    I suppose people who actually order cars with such colors should be fed up with "standard" colors after the many exotics they've bought...so what a better way to spice up things a bit with a "weird" paint job

    as far as I'm concerned, I still prefer glossy colors for this kind of cars

    In the same vein, any ideas on the drag coefficient?

    Do you really think it will effect the drag coefficient?

    It will certainly affect the range of police LIDAR. And that is pretty much the only sane reason I can think of for getting such a paint job .

    I agree, it could have been called Primer and that might be more appropriate

    Until now I thought about drag coefficient at these matt painted cars, but you may be right.

    Looks like crap IMO.

    Re: another matt 599

    I would be concerned about the durability, but... I really like matt. Matt black is great -- not on the Bentley, but it suits the 599 IMO. Should be great on a LP640 either.
