What do you think of matte/flat black paintjobs?
 

I came across a site for nothing but matte/flat black cars and was talking with a couple of guys at work about it. I really like it when done right on the right car but a couple other people HATE it and say it makes the car look primed and unfinished. So what do you guys think? Here is a link to the site http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...myDgpDRrDSFnuQ

And a couple examples I like.

The matte black as always been the shitz in my opinion. I think it looks good on anything, even the Space Shuttle.

The bentley looks sick! I'm doing my decklid matte black next week. Ill put some pics up!

Only looks good on lamborghinis and shit like that.

I have some matte black accents going on my car this weekend but I'm not so sure they will stay on long. :o

Yeah I'm the same way but that's the theme I'm going for so I'm hoping it looks the way I picture it haha.

The ones you posted look fine. Most cars look like they are simply primered. There was a flat black e92 M3 at the last track day I did and it only looked decent. I was parking spot neighbors with a guy that weekend that had a regular gloss black e92 M3 and it looked better IMO.

Yeah, I know what you mean. there is a Scion Tc around here that is painted matte black and it's a little blotchy and doesn't look very good.

I think the ones that look almost perfect are either painted by great painters that charge a fortune or they are vinyl wrapped to get the look. Here is a Ferrari that is getting a wrap.

Like the Focus RS500. Theres loads of Focus RS s about here (the 301hp versions).

What you guys make of these? They`re popular here too.

Man your bike is SICK!

I really like the matte black finish on sport bikes. I seen a matte black Ducati 848 the other day and it too bas awesome.

hell yes I love those bikes. I don't know what time zone you're in, but for me, it says the time you posted that is 8:48 am :eek:

Not matt but how about this for a non American Mustang rival?

Still a Ford mind...

FUCK YOU! I looooveeeeee the FPV. Ford is such a fuck up for not giving the Americas the option of getting some of the Australian cars....bunch of pricks.

They won't ever bring those cars over here for one very good reason. It would create too much competition for the Mustang. I would happily take on over a Mustang. :D

Love it when done right!

.....SEXY

I was heading home last night and here comes a flat black mazda all souped up too in another lane passed me!

looked pretty sharp!

It really depends on the car, some I really like and others look more or less stupid

I know of a particular member who may want to comment.

I never knew what this was, apparently a Mach 7 Falcon $200,000 in my hometown. Mercedes AMG in front of it.

Who could you possibly be talking about? :rolleyes:

You need a new sig picture. ASAP.

Or ban. :D

LOL! Who's gonna ban me? Are there any moderators here anymore!? (I'm sure r3d's lurking around here somewhere) :p

It's funny, That's the first thing that came to my mind too. :D
