Matte Silver E60 ideas
Ok guys I've been debating and want your opinion. I am thinking of painting my e60 matte silver to get the frozen look currently it is titanium silver. Let me know what you guys think.

To each is own ,, matt paint jobs just look like a primer job to me . But if that's the look you like , go for it beauty is in the eye of the beholder . So have you thought about wrapping the car ? So in case you don't like it you can peel it off ..

it's a fad. looks terrible in my opinion; it looks like a painter applied his base coat and went home forgetting to clear it. its your car though, do what you want.

Do it. OR...... just wrap it and if you regret/ get tired of it you can take it off and still have your glossy finish.

One more vote for wrapping. Painting it will definitely decrease the value.

Well when I meant paint I mean shooting it with the clear plastidip that way it also gives it a second layer of protection against rocks etc it's just a quick diy thing that I can peel off later also

the best and cheapest solution right here
itll protect and keep your existing paint and you can later remove it if you dont like it or want to sell your car and keep the oem look.
