What do you think about the satin finish for the XJR575?

Like Jake said on the HP, I think this satin finish looks appropriately sinister — I love it. Then again, I think there should be a temporary ban on new cars in black, silver, and white — just so the roads don't look so bland all the time. You can watch the XJR575 hit its 186-mph top speed in the video below.

When it's done right — and I have expectation Jag will do it right — I think this looks really cool. Over the years, I've seen some great matte finishes at SEMA, and I think we'll see more of them going forward.

I am sure it will be done right. I just think that matte finished paint on anything does not look good. It also scratches easily and I am not sure that in the USA a matte finished XJ will appeal to the people who generally buy an SJ. I will be happy as long as I can get a shiny one.

I had the aftermarket ram-air hood of my Charger painted in a flat-black. It came out fantastic and after 10 years it still looks flat and still can be cleaned to look like it did when first painted.
