Meh. Not a fan of the matte-all-over look. I get it, but something just seems "unfinished" about it.

Matte paint always looks good on Lambos for some reason.

Put it on a Mustang and I'd hate it.

Not a big fan of matte paint either..Passed on a Bugatti Veyron from HotWheels beacuse of the matte finish.. That is an accomplishment.

Its nice but nothing beats matte black. A Matte Black Gallardo LP560-4 would look great parked next to my Black 5.0!

Matte anything, outside of military applications, just looks like crap. Never understood why anyone would want their car to look either: a.) unfinished; primered but not painted or b.) wearing old, dead paint...

Although it's not normally my favorite 'main color' look for a car... this isn't bad. I kinda like it.

I have a feeling some of you guys wouldn't like my flat black desk.

Not really feeling that one. Black or dark gray maybe. For that stealth fighter effect.

I'm not feeling this. This has the same appeal of the matte black for me. I'm not a fan of that either. I like shiny things LOL
Although when Road Island Red Oxide becomes a color in vogue I will be there, rattle can in hand! I'm just sayin....

Well, Matte Blue looked OK on my '72 Datsun.
I didn't plan it that way, but the spray cans had another idea.
It was much better than the four different colors painted on it before I got it.

I can't tell, are the wheels black chrome? I would think black chrome accents would make it work.
