Matt black goes funny as soon as you get some oil on it, my shitter mk4 is matt black, oil cap came off on motorway so bay is coverd, not bother bout that but had to jet wash with gunk then use solvents and repaint bonnet and bumper so I wouldn't for engine parts, its just such a pain if u get that one drip of oil on.

Don't do matt or gloss use satin which is in between.mine was all bling but did away with that and did it all black. have a look at my thread in sig.

When I blacked my engine-bay in my cabriolet. I just wagged everything in VHT Black paint and satin black.. Looks alright and lasts....
