i take pride in doing full details on my car, so i'm with the paint crowd.

matte paint does look good on certain cars. murci, LFA. more aggressive looking cars.

I still enjoy the matte on cars to a certain degree. But I am getting a little sick of the "how matchy matchy can we be" with the interior equation. This one is just screaming for someone to play with it. If it were a person it would be diagnosed with some psychological issues that derived from neglect. A fair attempt at doing something "cool" but been done a thousand times before....

This one is just "Eh" to me.

Of course it is an Aston so I in no way would say no to this beast.

This is the Aston Martin DBS Superior Black Edition by Anderson Germany.

The German tuner applies a deep-black matte paint finish to this DBS while adding carbon mirrors, tinted windows and window frames in a matte black which also coats much of the other exterior components.

For the engine tuning, Anderson dials up wattage on the V12 from 517 PS (380 kW / 510 bhp) to 565 PS (416 kW / 557 bhp) by means of an ECU remap, catalyst replacement pipes and special manifolds. The DBS also drops 21 kg in curb weight and gets an electronically-controlled vent damper on the black exhaust pipe.

Wheels are the 21-inch glossy black rims with 255 tires at the front and 295 at the back - contrasting sharply with the red brake calipers.

On the inside is the same pattern - a black carbon leather and black Alcantara finish contrasted with red diamond stitching.

These matte paint jobs are popping up all over the place. I can't stand them as I don't think they add anything of aesthetic value to the vehicles they're on. To me they look silly and unnecessary (and are a big waste of money).
