Don't have one in yet, but my ZL1 will be Matte Grey (mid, not CG Dark). She is in production now so mid year I should have some pics to share.

Personally for me I dig the wet look, where it looks like you could dive rite into the paint...

Yes I agree. Matte finished cars look as though they are still in primer.

I personally would rather have a gloss black over a matte but I don't think matte black looks bad.

Matte black looks awesome IMO - even though it kind of looks like primer.

If done right they look great!
Not everyone wants a gloss black or yellow camaro!
Some like to be original!

If you like then go for it!

NOT a fan! Cool if you don't drive it. Pain to keep that it way. Sun will tear it up. Best of luck.

I personally don't like it. It reminds me of kids who have half of their civic matte because they couldn't afford to paint it haha
