Here we have a matte black Mercedes-Benz G500, seen parked in front of the Worker Stadium in central Beijing. It is not exactly stealthy, the G is simply too big and square for that, but the color makes it look kinda dangerous. The matte black is painted on, not a wrap, showing some dedication!

The owner went all the way. Grille, bumpers, mirrors and alloys are all painted in matte black. Only the side bars are in chrome for contrast. Well done. The Mercedes-Benz G-class is very popular in China, the rich Chinese amrket is one of the most important reasons why Benz is still continuing the old G. 99% of the Gees I see in Beijing are either G500 or G55 AMG. Price in China starts at 1.69 million yuan, or 271.000 USD.
