I know an M5 CS owner with that frozen green color they launched it with. It's a nightmare and a half. There was some defect in the paint on the trunk lid - I think a shop repainted it 2 times and never got it matched with the rest of the car. They were going to try a third time last I heard.

My advice would be very simple - buy the gloss equivalent color and PPF it matte if you really want. Unless you're only keeping the car 3 years - in which case do whatever. Don't bother with PPF if you rotate through cars.

If you already have the car with you in matte (or on the way) and you plan to keep it longer than 3 years, PPF the whole car matte.
