Would the M2 look better in matte black or gloss black

Ok here's a rendering to help get you a visual. What do you think? Dark black matte, grey matte, or gloss black? Which would look good on the rendered M2?

The Frozen Paints are wonderful to look at but very difficult to maintain.

How are they difficult to maintain? They are just the opposite, rinse and done. (sort of speak)
There's a vid floating around from BMW where they explain the benefits and ease of maintenance.

Problem is that if you get a scratch you can polish nor wax cause that's remove the matte look...

Also given that you can't wax the only thing you can do is wash... so it's easier cause you don't wax i guess.. ?

You are right about the scratches and scuffs. Sadly if this happen respray is the only option. There are special wax options for frozen paints, however I don't know if this is wise on long term.

Thanks. I think either gloss black or chrome black would look great with the grey matte paint job. Thanks man.
