Personally, I think it looks shit. Then again, I have never really liked flat/matte black paint jobs, they always look incomplete or like you've forgotten to remove the backing paper. Rolls are supposed to be about quality and presence, and a paint job that looks like it was done with a rattle-can does not portray that in the slightest.

 

Give it a satin finish though, or a piano-black full depth gloss, and then we would be talking

I'm with Hiro, couldn't have put it better. The Masa and Bugatti get away with it (it looks more satin than flat?), the others look rubbish.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

beauty is painted on that rolls

 

I would looooooooooove to own it

I don't really like it either, but matte black is one fo the hardest colours to put down to look good, that paint job DOES NOT look like it was done with a rattle can. And if you could get that finish out of a rattle can then you should be making millions of dollars charging people thousands for matte black paint jobs.

I know it's hard to do properly, and that the Rolls wouldn't have been done by can, but it is the perception. Most of the matte-black resprays you see are backyard rattle-can jobs that look like arse, and because of that the perception of even quality products and jobs is dragged down purely by association (like how defected drift-pig KE70s devalue nice cleanly modified minters). You could say the same thing about chrome wheels - you could have a wheel machined out of solid metal, beautifully chrome-dipped and then hand-polished to a mirror shine on a half-million dollar Bentley, but Habib down the street will still put $400 17" Tempe Tyres chromies on his Civic and think that his ride is totally Gangsta, whilst the rest of us stand back and think that it looks gayer than the crowd at a Village People concert.

 

Still, regardless of the quality or the craftsmanship, I still don't like the style, and think it is totally out of place on a car which is supposed to represent the upmost in fine quality and elegance
