Question regarding matt paint.

Has anyone seen matt painted Lambo?

I saw SLS with factory matt paint today, and was suprised to find the paint surface being rough. I mean it was so rough that I wonder if it is ever parctical. It seemed it would easily catch what ever dust or mud or anything dirty on the surface.

I wonder Lamborghini factory matt paint would be the same as any so the surface is rough. Also, if anyone has first hand experiences, please advise me if I should get a matt paint or not.

I drive fast on the highway most of the times so the bugs and dirt usualy get stuck on the front of my cars.

THanks

My daily driver is a matte, no issues what so ever and I love the fact that the matte grey doesnt show dust or dirt as much as a normal paint from far. Get the matte paint, what colour are you aiming for ?

White it is.... Or I will go for estoque grey. It is comforting to hear from actual owner. Any further thoughts?

There is no maintenance, all you can do is wash it no wax.

I am told that Lambo's CEO Winklemann drives a Matt Brown LP570 Gallardo and that it looks amazing

Bugs need to be removed daily if you opt for Matt Paintwork

I have protective layering on the front end of my car, so far no problems.

One thing about SLS I saw was that it had protective film on the front and that made the paint look like non-matt, say normal paint finish. The film itself played a role of clear coat. I would rather say, with only lower part in film, it looked funny somehow.
