Default New paint opinions

I have an 01 s-type on 20 inch adonyss alloy spikec's that are machined lip with black and chrome spikes. the car is black. I am thinking of repainting the whole car a matte gunmetal grey, and all the chrome accents black chrome along with the wheels. I would very much like feed back on this from fellow jaguar owners


pic below is of the car now

Personally I think chrome even black chrome with any Matte color does not look good. If you are going to have exposed metal then brushed/natural metal looks better.

Also before going and paying for a Matte paint be full aware of the difficulty with keeping that paint up.

I would suggest getting a matte vinyl wrap instead.
