Satin Black Paint on the LS... a work in progress.
Ok so it's been a while since I've actually started a thread. Mainly because my car was involved in a pretty bad wreck (not at fault) and GEICO initially refused to take responsibility for it. It ended up being a year long ordeal and it's been in and out of the shop due to numerous reasons including poor body panel alignment and electrical issues. (This can actually be an entirely new thread so I'll stop here!) Moving forward to present time I've had it repainted in Satin Black. It's base coat/clear coat finish utilizing a flattening agent in the clear so that it's not glossy. It's fairly easy to maintain, can be waxed and washed like normal and it doesn't show as many flaws as the gloss paint. It also looks very aggressive in my opinion. So let the opinions, comments, and suggestions flow (good, bad, and ugly).

Car looks great, can't even tell it was ever in an accident (which is the point I suppose...). Nice choice in color, looks higher quality than the vinyl wraps I've seen. Love the rims too, goes well with the black exterior.

IMO.. I would get that bright red decal off & match or change the facing of the rim. Or if you like the red take off the smoke rear tail light covers, get the rims painted = lip red& face satin black and call it a day 4 a tough looking LS.

Thanks, I think the wheels will be next. I'm liking the Vossen wheels!
Thanks, I own a tattoo shop here in town so that decal is actually my advertising for the website... I like the red wheels idea and have actually thought about that color combination. Wheels are next on the menu.
