Hell yes man. I knew someone would do it sooner or later.

Cant wait to see it. Make sure to ask the paint shop about upkeep of the paint. Ive heard that with a flat/satin finish doing things like opening and closing the doors can "polish" the paint and make it shine just from the oils and contact with your hands.

Damn, I was at F1 motorsport the other day and they had a satin black CLS500. It looked insane. Owner told me that paint job cost $6k.

is that the same color as the monochromatic matte black...cause I saw that color on a benz cls and that was sick. if its the same color wow that would be the best paint job ever...personally i think it should be like a factory paint.

not a fan of satin black itself, but it would be interesting to see how it would come out on a TL. Good luck.

I actually have been pondering this color for a real long time, but how would you extend its longevity... does it feature a flat clear?

Be sure it is a GOOD Satin Black paint job. I've seen some shotty ones around that look like the car is still in prep mode and need a coat.

A good satin is nice.
