aguar XKR: Doesn't Matte Gray Make Everything Look Better?

The Jaguar XKR still looks pretty good, but holy crap does it look even better in matte gray paint with black wheels. This one was parked outside last night's Jay-Z/XJR event, outclassing the boxy Jag sedan inside.

i am guessing the light goes through the paint on the outside? It just doesnt look right with the taillights also painted matte black...

The paint is great. Looks like a stealth bomber.

The taillights is awful. I'd do a matte clear coat, but I wouldn't grey it out...

Looks like primer.
I see Civics running around like this all the time.

At first glance, looks like primer to me.

don't like this one, especially with the painted taillights.

The paint looks like ***. I am not impressed. The matt look just ruins the car for me

They ruined it when they grayed out the taillights. I'm actually more interested in that hot white XFR in the background.
