[QUOTE="JQL, post: 1451395, member: 87556"] I have a Phantom Blue Matte 2019 which was (matte) ceramic coated when new. The ceramic coating works very well in keeping the paint looking excellent and minimising water spots as water sheets off. It also makes the paint more resistant to scratches (it's not a panacea though) As sunnyorlando says, stone chips will mark the paint, as will zips etc. These cannot be hidden without painting the whole panel. Touch up paint leaves a visible (but not as visible as the original) mark. I love the colour and would buy another matte painted vehicle BUT, if used, only after very close inspection of the paintwork and it must have been ceramic coated. New - I will immediately coat it.
