Can't that matte black trend just die?

Matte is the new "chrome rims". The trend has just reached its peak with MB launching a matte gold SLS for the indebted Dubai car market. It can only go downhill from here. Just give it another 12 months and then matte will be so two thousand and late.

Rims are fantastic, but the matt colour is horrible!!

Problem is that, at least here in Sweden, the matte trend started long ago - at least four years ago and was usually applied less than tastefully. Most of the time on horrible 2F2F style vehicles.

Other than that, the matte finishes have historically often been used on beaten up cars, driven by 18 year olds.

Well, matte is bad and everything with such a finish looks worse than it could.
