Out of Warranty
Not a fan of the flat black look - just beginning to tolerate gray (silver). Both look like the car is in primer. Is this the look they're going for?
Ot maybe it integrates STEALTH technology against missile guidance/tracking systems.

They shouldn't be; it's just a single stage paint job with a smaller amount of enamel in the paint. In fact it'd probably be less costly because you can do it with less coats (no need for clear to add gloss).
Id say they are probably a lot less durable than "typical" single stage or two stage jobs though.

Yeah I thought it would be less durable as well due to the missing clear coats. Are there any "dull" clear coats out there? lol.
