    If you have an extra $30K, I'd get the matte. If not, get the white.

    Or, alternately, buy the white, have a good body shop wrap it matte gray for $5K or so, and you can have both for less.

    Either or. Im stuck there too. Leaning matte aluminum. Yes, i've stated i couldnt pay $28K for paint in other threads, BUT on the F12 it may b worth it.

    Car looks amazing in matte aluminum, and $$ will balance out cuz i would leave all minus steering wheel in aluminum finish. Those CF options would equal equal (give or take) out.

    If i went bianco, i'd have to go nero int. & might feel compelled to CF the interior pieces. I get stuck on int. color choice with matte aluminum tho. :T

    I get stuck

    White looks much better.....if matte alu was standard and white the 30k option I'd still get bianco. I'm seriously wondering what people find so appealing in those matte colors, just not my cup of tea.

    Not as of yet. Dealer hasnt got allocations yet. My guesstimate is probly spec in spring n delivery in summer.

    Cant multi quote from phone (at least i dont know how), but i've hated matte finishes too... Until matte white on aventador and now matte aluminum on f12.

    White. I also hate these matte finishes, except for a track car. Why pay extra $30K to have a car look like it's primed for painting?

    saw both cars at the factory last month and the matte aluminum just popped

    if it was not for the $30K extra i would not hesitate getting the matte finish

    As opposed to? I think (just my opinion), these 2 color choices show the lines most.

    Aren't these matte finishes a nightmare to keep up? Specifically if you get a chip or scratch, can't buff them out like on a conventional "shiny" paint.

    If you don´t want it in red, aluminium is the way to go, no doubt about it, the car looks stuning in that color...please skip the white, it´s a crime to buy such a gorgeous car in that colour....it simply doesn´t work.

    So back to OP... Are u leaning either which way?

    Was at dealer today and they want me to put in my F12 spec asap so i dont miss an allocation.

    I know, "get what you want, get what makes u happy, choice is yours". But i find myself stuck mainly between white n matte aluminum. BUT, as always, right b4 my spec i sway all over the place. Rosso? Giallo?
    Any color i'll b happy in n will love bcuz its the F12. So i may leave decision to what color (i kno, resale red) prospective buyers are most interested in.

    I like being able to sell quickly when i do. So i apologize if im besting a dead horse but whats the F12 buyers concensus?
