I've taken my BMW to a few specialists and they have advice getting the car re-sprayed so i'm booking it in and then the car is getting fully ceramic paint protection to help protect the car more.

I love the look of the car but will never buy a Matt car again!!!!!!! All scratches have to be re painted which is a joke!
I understand where you're coming from. And yes matte paint is "fragile" in the sense that you cannot buff things out.
But from the pictures it seems that it scratches (done intentionally) are quite deep. Even with regular paint, the only way to go is repaint as well.

I'm with Frozen MBB and it only took one car wash afternoon for me to decide to PPFed the whole car. In exchange for the peace of mind later on(since now its too late to say, hey! Just get me a regular Marina Bay Blue!) ceramic coating will help somewhat, but sooner then later, you'll be back to the same spot (those damn micro scratches!)


Might open to the route some suggest, to get regular paint and matte ppfed, it'll look just the same
