I think it only looks ok if done right. I have seen way to many botch jobs that looked disgusting. Someone on here has a flat black gtr that looked pretty mean.

I think the Flat black GTR that was posted here was actually a full vinyl rap and not painted....

Doesn't look right in my opinion. The doors and fenders don't match.

don't do flat black its nasty, go with the satin black

What's the difference with Satin and flat black?

zanthrax

Satin is in between flat and gloss paint.

bad:


good:


Nice wheels are also very important, a nice satin paintjob with stock wheels doesn't look that cool at all, it looks more like the car just has primer on it.
The trick to a good flatblack look is to get the car painted black with regular automotive paint and then give that a satin clearcoat instead of the regular gloss/glass paint.

no offense u dont own a 91 honda civic, u own a seven, big difference. to me flat back is lazy cause it just hides all of imperfections, thats my 2 cents.

One of the members from Kuwait has a flat black FD. It was even for sale recently:

I say go for it, but it will look better in a satin finish on a kitted/widebodied car with some black rims.

The flat black picture up there is not paint, that is just primer....

Damn, didn't realize these Matte or Flat paint jobs could go soooo wrong LoL. Some of the one's pictures (Mercedes aside) look like crap. Does anyone know how well this finish holds up to road conditions? I wouldn't think very well, but I'd like to confirm.
