I'm a fan of Semi gloss black.

Not exactly flat but has an awesome sheen to it.

I saw a FD at sevenstock painted like that and it made me drool.

I just painted my 240 with rattle can. I didn't want to do flat black because it seems to be played out. I ended up getting Rustoleum Stainless steel. I really dig it.


Stay with the flats if you want to use rattle can. Gloss is too hard to get perfect while flats are more forgiving with imperfect coats/lines

I painted my 240 with chalkboard paint. It looks really cool. I'd take a picture, but I don't have a camera on me. It goes on pretty even and looks pretty nice. I haven't washed my car in a long *** time, so it looks shitty atm.
