Matt Black

[AANDYY]

I once saw a 2005 Mustang in matt black at a GTG, it looked amazing, must be a car/model thing.

Here it is, I had to take it off a video I took there.
It's in the mid shot.

Mallory, last year.

On the other hand, this looks awesome!

That, my friends, is the Absolute "D0GS B0LL0CKS".

I have a van that the previous owner had a wrap on. When they took the wrap off they must've used a knife to get at parts of it to pull it off (invisible when I bought it). Now I've got teeny tiny slivers of rust appearing where these cuts were done.

Now this is fine on my 54 plate VW LT van that I only ever seem to use for taking garden rubbish to the tip, but I'd be mighty careful buying a nice car that had been wrapped.

I'm guessing that the wrap on my van was taken off by a muppet hence the scratches but still, inspect carefully say I !

Grief there's always an idiot who brings dampens down the tone of a good thread isn't there ;-) Sorry.

funnily enough, I saw a matt black R8 the other weekend and yes, it doesn't look right but a matt black Gallardo does look fantastic.

I wonder what my W124 would look like? Any photoshoppers want to have a go at a later W124 Saloon?

A question for the 9 posters so far who have chosen to spell matte as "matt".

Why are you spelling matte "matt"?

In fact nobody on this thread so far has spelt it "matte".

we have a matt black 190e , it is matt black due to it been a real old nail i bought it because it had 2 sets of amg wheels both 17's for £300 . it was so rough we thought it could have the "Rat" look till it goes to the scrappers when the MOt runs out in july , We call it the Red Neck racer , Matt black used to be somthing different i guess but no really so anymore , We do have chalk for it and to say its such a wreck people love it as it does look so bad , its funny how some people look down there nose at you too butiam safe in teh knoweledge we are a 3 merc house hold

Front grille was Merc 1 Pheasent 0 , i bought one of the big badge grilles off ebay for it so we will put it on soon , its amazing how people get out of your way when you car looks such a wreck , people give way and generally stay out of your way , and going to the supermarket is great i dont have to spend ages looking for the out of the way parking space .. Id recomend a Nail To anyone iam not the "drive your Bank balance " type so could'nt careless what others think infact i love it when people think your skint and stereo type us there faces when they find out we own 2 busniesses is great

As far as I'm aware matt means a non shiny finish and matte (originally derived from matt) refers to a process in film making (now superceded by digital technology)?
At least this is the more commonly accepted understanding (unless you are American?)
