Mine has the standard matt black finish from Marlin. Sems to go with the black car. It gets well used getting in and out, so maybe a gloss finish may after time, dull a bit. Or will need constant cleaning. Don't notice the marks as much with the matt.
Some won't like my black and met' silver combo, but I thought a dark roll cage would be too much.
The colour for the whole car is a personal choice for everybody. No right's or wrongs. When I started building mine, there was no black cars about. But had an idea of red/black. Saw Andy's before ordering bodywork (black), and looked great. So decided to take a chance with black/red. Some may not like it. But I do.
It was a risk. With the roll cage though. It can be painted if you don't like it.
