You're right, of course. But see this link with this explanation:

"From what we made from the German press release, the Conquistador has been painted with BASF Coatings' Glasurit brand mat-effect paints. The original black glossy finish was lightly sanded, then paint was applied, followed by a layer of clearcoat. After another round of sanding, a layer of clearcoat mat was added. The mirrors, the radiator grille, and the trim strips received a coat of silver mat instead of black mat."
