I hate white cars, they look so, pure or something. Now black just looks, well, good.

flat black is an awesome color, i saw it in a magazine on a silvia.. it looked bad ***, i really dont like high gloss paint so any color that i paint it will prob have a dull look to it, which i like

if the red paint is nice leave it
if its not flat black all the way
plus itll leave u with more money to save for ur rebuild

Flat? WTF? Sorry, guys- but to me it just looks unfinished- and if you are trying to hide body flaws, get it done right!

Gloss black is best, IMHO, cause that's what I drive-
it looks awesome for the first 10 minutes that it's clean after you wash it!!!

no idea about flat red, call your local paint and body shop. maybe they'll answer your question assuming they have business coming in.
i agree that white FCs are sexy, but i don't like the 10AE color white, i prefer the S5 white (it may be the same as the S4, i'm not sure). i really like Honda's Type R white (Championship White i believe).
also primered ghost gray. black is also nice, but i prefer the white. it accents the black or dark colors on the car beautifully.
