OTH : Matte white edition

[Chris_a90]

I’m on the hunt to find a matte white edition MT. I can’t seem to find that option at a dealer anywhere anymore. Does anyone know of any dealer sitting on one still ?

Was only on A91 Special editions here in the US. Most of them are long gone or being up marked if someone is holding onto it.

Yea seems like they sold them super quick

As far as we can tell, in the US only about 50 A91-MTs were sold in Burnout Matte White, and you're over a year late to the party if you intended to purchase a new one.

IF anyone is still sitting on one, expect to pay $75-$90k for it

Canada has burnout as a normal colour for 2024.

It's a "special" a91 of course they'd sell fast.

Maybe just get white and get stealth PPF?

I was going to suggest this. Burnout is a gorgeous color no doubt, but there are headaches that come with a factory matte paint.

If you get a scratch or a ding, there is no way to touch it up and make it look good. So the scratch or ding stays unless you're willing to repaint the whole panel. If you go that route, the matte paint is pretty expensive and most likely wont match the rest of the panels on the car. Other issues: you have to be super diligent about bird droppings, road grime and other types of industrial fallout as certain elements and chemicals can cause the matte finish to discolor. You have to be super careful about washing your car. Touch carwashes are a big no no regardless of matte or gloss paint for me, but particularly the matte paint because there is no paint correction and polish that can be done on matte paint. Again, once it's scratched, it's scratched.

Getting absolute zero and then a matte PPF from STEK or a stealth from Xpel would give you the look youre going for, plus you have added protection with the film. I know STEK's film has hydrophobic and self healing properties which is a huge plus too.

If the matte white is what you like because of the tan interior, MY2024 Premium Supra's will have the tan interior as an option on all colors, so you could get a 2024 premium in Absolute Zero with the tan interior and get a Matte PPF.

Looks like you have a MY2023 already though. So if the tan interior isn't a big driving factor in your decision to upgrade, I'd also suggest wrapping your current Supra in a Matte or Satin white Vinyl.

I never really considered all the care it would take to keep a matte color looking nice .. I actually don’t mind the interior , I’ve always liked the way matte colors look. I’ve shopped around for matte ppf and the prices are just insane

Yeah it’s definitely not cheap but you get 8-10 years of protection and a unique finish that is reversible should you choose to go back to the factory gloss finish.

Also, I would think the price of matte PPF or a vinyl wrap could be cheaper than paying a premium markup on an A91 MT burnout or trading in your 2023 car and the subsequent loss in value from what you paid (even though these Supras hold their value pretty well, you’d still take some sort of hit plus sales tax, dealer handling fees etc)

Burnout white and cu later grey where the 2023 limited editions, I actually have not seen any burnout whites at all, not once yet. don't give yet! It's out there. 500 where given to the us.

For that kind of money, you could just matte PPF an Absolute Zero. Then you get protection and the color you want.

Bristol Toyota in MA has one. It's quote "part of the owner's collection but he is taking offers." Good luck with that BS!
