Default matte black paint job

Has anyone ever thought of painting their cars a "satin black" or "matte black?"

At a show or in pictures they look good, but I was looking around a 1 series that's been wrapped matt black the other day and it did nothing for me whatsoever.

Good if you want a cheap respray on soemthing that's going to get damaged, which is why it's a hit with the drifters.

Looks alright, until it rains or you wash it! Water marks are a coont to get rid of.

IMO, the new RS500 looks good in the pictures, but pretty terrible when in person!
