No matter what car or matte paint you choose, it’s ar reflective surface only in hood view. All the other viewpoints are correct. It just doesn’t make sense. Surely they must be aware? If not, how can I get them to notice?
On Reddit I have seen other people talk about it as well.
This is around since many Forza games, i think since the option for matte was new to the game

So, yesterday we had an update to “celebrate” the first year of Forza Motorsport. After all this time, the hood view still shows matte cars as being reflective.
I am trying to understand why this isn’t being fixed. Has there ever been a official response to this from the developers?
I use the hood view, and matte painting, so I don’t get distracted and to keep focus on the track. This issue severely hampers my enjoyment of the game and I am trying to understand why in the world this hasn’t been fixed.
Why add all kinds of cars and drift modes when the base functionality isn’t even there?
Because this game has still a ton of major issues and this is clearly a minor one. Don’t expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
How is this a minor issue when it impacts driver performance? This is literally a day 1 issue that should be basic functionality.
In the meantime all kinds of stuff has been added so let’s not pretend there isn’t time for it. Obviously there have been a lot of complaints about it and nobody at T10 has even recognized it.
If you use Hood Camera, this game is unplayable. I paid for this game.
it’s under “known issues” and Bug-Logged, so they have recognized and acknowledged it.
I use hood camera here and there and it’s very well playable for me.
If you use matte paint to avoid reflections, the Hood view is NOT playable at all. That’s why people reported it as a bug. It hampers the gameplay experience and allround performance when driving.
I don’t mind the reflections so it’s playable for me
In that case I’m very happy for you and very sad for the thousands of people who paid for this game and don’t get the promised experience.
I would pay $20 to contribute towards addressing this.
I trained myself off of 20+ years of chase cam in this amazing game, but having no distracting reflections with hood cam would be a wonderful xmas prezzie.
Please?
EDIT: I get by with a stainless hood, but still. Would really appreciate if matte was actually matte in hood cam. 
You shouldn’t need to pay for something that simple..this should’ve been there day 1. It’s absolutely mind boggling it’s not fixed. It doesn’t seem all that important to the developers. It is obviously much more important to add cars.
K, so… as much as I thought I really omg-needed matte graphics for hood cam, I now realize that cockpit-without-wheel&arms cam is A) amazing, B) not nearly as annoying wrt reflections.
Thxu T10, I am a happy customer again. (but moar tracks and old cars pls)
It’s good, but it’s ridiculous that after a year this is still not fixed. No matter how good the other views are. It seems that they can’t fix it for some reason.
I don’t like that they aren’t even acknowledging it.
Still not fixed after more than a year. Wow.
It’s never getting fixed
Yeah, it’s very weird mate.
How is it that we have all these paint options in various matte versions and the cars look fine in garage and on the car picker screen, but as soon as you go in race they’re immediately full glossy paint jobs?
Doesn’t matter if you pick a matte paint job, raw carbon fiber, anything like that; it gets a clear coat before it goes out to race.
It can’t be that hard for you guys to make this work. What’s the point of picking a paint job if it’s not even represented properly when racing???
Every other current racing game: from Xbox to PC to PlayStation, from every other developer, lets you select matte paint and it’s represented in race correctly. The track surface and other visual assets in race have a matte non-reflective finish, so the engine obviously can do it. No excuses…
It makes no sense.
Still not fixed for over a decade. This has been broken forever, they have never had matte paint jobs work properly. Other games seem to do it without any issue. The other frustrating thing is when you’re looking at your car in your garage or Forza Vista the paint is fine, it’s only glossy on track. My guess would be it has something to do with the rendering engine. And of course even though they say they update the engine it’s basically the same it has been for generations.
