****! That does look good. What rims are those?
And how big. They look enormous.

From the looks of them and all he hashtags in the IG post, they're likely HRE wheels. I don't know how big they'd be.

My guess is 24" because factory options are 19-22" and this looks bigger than any of them. 24" is also a very common size to upgrade to on SUVs in this segment.
Now, while it looks cool, that low profile of a tire will compromise ride quality.

In case anyone is wondering what satin black looks like with a few sprinkles...

What sort of exterior paint treatment(s) / products do you use on these matte finishes if you want protection, but not shine?

Mine has a ceramic coating (doesn’t add shine) and when I wash the car I have to use a special soap. The ceramic coating makes the debris come off pretty easy.

And will compromise the tire and rim when you hit a nice pothole!!

Did you wrap the whole car in satin? or did you do a different sheen for the trim (chrome parts)?

I did the entire car in the same color. The common theme is to leave the hood and a few accents in glossy but I wanted a bat mobile look.

Thank you. it's hard to tell in the photos because of how the accent pieces reflect light differently.

You car looks a lot darker than the Original Poster, his matte looks grey compared to yours, is that just the photo not translating well to real life, or do you consider your satin to be much darker than matte?

Yea that picture has to be a satin grey. The black trim looks considerably darker.
