Default matte daytona grey color

I'm not a huge fan of the matte colors on cars but I took my S5 in for it's 5k service and they had a matte daytona grey RS7 that was gorgeous. It had a special order interior with red stitching as well which was very cool. if I were ordering a new audi, I'd highly consider this color:

I wouldn't consider it until I read the maintenance requirements for that paint.
If it's anything like BMW's, it's a pain. BMW even makes you sign a release for their frost paint.

I would consider getting a regular factory enamel paint job (but not an RS7) and then having it wrapped in matte so I could have removed it if it turned out to be a PITA or I just got tired of it.

I am surprised they have it available, as it was not when I ordered my RS5 in daytona grey. I thought this could be achieved only with a wrapping.

Do love the matte look but not sure I want to pay 5K for the wrap.
