different strokes i guess

satin and not full flat is always the sleekest. Semi-gloss

 

Your car needs to be an exotic to pull off the flat black look, IMO.

 

I've never gotten the flat black concept.

To me, it doesn't look good on anything. Not Mustangs, not Lambos, not JDM whatever. Whenever I see a car in flat black, I immediately think that it would look better in any other color...including primer gray.

 

the only way I would do a flat paint job would be like the boss 302. just do the hood, trunk lid and some stripes down the side coming of the hood. other than that it looks like you ran out of money to paint the car and left it in primer.

 

To me, anything other than gloss black just looks like someone primered the car and forgot to paint it.

 

I'm holding out for flat white, or maybe even red oxide

 

Thanks for the info.
I also don't like much the flat paint deal, specially when cleaning it, it's a real PITA.

 

lol, yeah it is kind of like that!

 

No need to hold off for that flat white

 

Don't shoot me, but I kind of like that. Maybe it just looks right to me on a Lambo or something.

 

that looks pretty slick actually..

 

lambo looks satin...but does look nice.

you could always try rolling your own (re:hotrod mag july2007)

I won't shoot you that looks AWESOME!!! If I had Gallardo money, I would buy that very color combo

 

I dunno about flat black... seems like a primer color.

SME HR010, aka Hot Rod Black. Not flat, not shiny, not, really, satin. Just pure awesome.

Even still, that seems... not right. I don't think I'd do it myself. Just bits and pieces like I've done on mine.
