I did read it, hence look at the quote i gave, autocar says the paint is matt, not gloss
But then says........
The car’s exterior is finished in a matt black paint unique to the RS500. Standard gloss black paint is applied in the factory, and then he cars are shipped to coatings specialist 3M’s site near Frankfurt, where a matt film is laid over the top. The gloss paint is retained on the lower grille and splitter, the rear spoiler and the rear diffuser. Brake calipers are finished in red.
It was obviously a typo as the original story was kept underneath, it's Autocar and it's innate ability to keep tripping itself up, hence the spelling mistake in the above copied text also.
