2001 CL Re-paint, suggestions?!
I got a 2001 Acura CLS. Its a San Marino Red. I got into an accident a little while ago so its in the shop right now. I am going to do a color change and have decided on black. They are going to do all the jams, etc. However I dont want a dull black. I am looking for the glossiest, deepest black without any type of pearl in it. Any suggestions?

Its probably not a good idea to change the color that drastically

Well, how about flat black or flat white...?

I'm really curious how the CL will look in either color.

This is what we imagine the 2nd Gen CL to look like in flat black.

Hey...not bad but yeah, probably not right for stock. Is that someone's actual ride that was painted in flat-black or did you photoshop it...?

It was a Photochop done by another guy on the site for us.

I posted it in the Photogallery some months back and prepared the flame retardant clothing.

I was curious why you didn't want any pearl...but I guess that sums it up.
