dainfamus1's car is pretty freakin murdered out... minus the gold on his rims. He has the illest tint on his tail lights... they pretty much match his paint job.

Murdering is one of the more popular themes, hence why it has it's own nickname. Def. don't do matte black, because you can't beat Cocoa...no matter how fresh your car looks, it'll always be outdone. Keep looking at colors, something will pop into your head.

Blacked out Cyprus Green Pearl.

But seriously, I always wanted to black out a dark candy apple red car..
What is the name of that red color that looks black in the shade? Carbon Red or something?

..."wicked" in the 70's...we were riding bikes then....

regardless of blacking out being over done. I would cream over a Black 1st gen with all the chrome blacked out, and no chrome lip on black wheels, with a tint like dainfammus1's and his tail light smokeout.

just...

I would give anything for my body to be in mint condition...

with those dull black finishes if you so much as like wax them they lose their dull black finish and become shinier. forgot where i read that.

all black is sexy. it has been done for a long time and will continue to be done for a long time. its hard to mess anything up if you go that route. black is one of those colors that is timeless and is not just a fad like pastel colors. im looking for a new black also and im thinking that the factory black with a little extra pearl is just right. hard to beat oem colors sometimes.
