I regret purchasing my 2026 Hyundai Palisade matte finish vehicle from Norm Reeves Hyundai Irving. The dealership did not adequately communicate the real-world maintenance limitations and ownership burden associated with matte paint finishes. Within days of ownership, I learned that standard car washes cannot safely be used; repairs and maintenance are significantly more difficult, and ownership requires constant specialized care. When I requested assistance shortly after purchase, the only option presented involved taking on substantial negative equity rather than working toward a reasonable exchange solution. Buyers considering matte paint should thoroughly research the long-term maintenance implications before purchasing.
