That's a wrap!!!???
I don't want a flat black car, but it looks good and like a paint job at that, except it can go back to stock in an instant.

Ofcourse I wonder what happens when it gets a scratch?

Nice car condom. One way to keep bird crap from staining the paint.

i know black is supposed to be slimming, but it still looks like a fat pig.

I don't see the point to wanting a car that looks like it needs a paint job.

Some cars can pull it off. It's just different. Hot rodders have been doing it for ages. To each his own but I love flat paint on lots of different cars.
There's also a sort of artistic beauty to flat paint, I can't quite explain it.

wow, that looks just like paint. how do you keep that clean? just wash it like normal? I'd be worried about bubbling, tearing, and scratching. But I guess its not any worse than normal car paint.

That clown just runied his GTR. I am so not into this lame new fad of flat black paint. This is what we used to call and unfinished paint job. This crap should be left to the Rat Rods/ Hot rod crews please

Matte black cars are soooooo 2005.

Wake me up when it's over.

Maybe he should add some skunk stripes...
Or double-bladed windshield wipers.

Yawn.

Another car ruined by an ugly paint job....

The only car that deserves the a matte finish is the batmobile, and even then Batman would have opt for glossy black instead.
