Flat black paint job . . .
I was driving to work this morning and saw in transit a sweet GS430 IN ALL FLAT BLACK. I gotta get my car painted like that, but in white. Can anyone suggest a good body and paint spot? Any idea on cost?

99% of flat black / flat white jobs are done with a vinyl wrap similar to clear car covers.

That is pretty sweet and yes, a vinyl wrap is the smart way to go if you want to do flat or satin black.
There's a thread devoted to this type of cover and/or paint scheme:
