Default XKR in Black Satin

Has anyone wondered what XK would look like in satin. No not like the Moody Blues song Knights in White Satin

What if you took satin clear coat and painted the whole car. Dont worry I am not stupid, I cleaned it with alcohol before doing it so that if I decide to keep it, it will have to be polished off.

Let me tell you what you like about it, the Alien Eye effect of the side windows. (you could do this with tinting)

I prefer the rich look of gloss black and clear glass. Just thought I would post this for those wondering.

It doesn't do it justice.

Forget black satin on an XKR. It looks like primer.

This is what black satin is meant for. It looks prime!

Was in Monaco a few years back, really looking forward to seeing some flash motors, only one I saw was a satin black F type. Wasn't impressed.

hmmm... a friend owns the night edition AMG GT C roadster... and it is striking. But for some reason I can't imagine the XK in that fashion.

Flat black is for rat rod builders with no imagination.

I like satin and matte but not on modern cars. I'm also not a fan of these crazy mirrored colored wraps that the Lambo community seem to over use. Cool effect, just not my thing.
To each his/her own.

That's in Canadian, so it'd be $61,876 USD, it's not too horrible.
