With a drop, tints, and some aggressive wheels it would probably look nice.

Check it:









Flat black is the new silver.

Cool pics!

Yeah...this just shows how sweet it CAN look.

I would love to see someone do it that has easy access to a body shop just to see a tricked out CL with this "stealth" look.

The body better be straighter than an arrow. One tiny ding could ruin the entire thing.

yea. Satin black would definitely look better than flat black (I believe thats what those cars above are) but I could be wrong.

I do agree, a flat black car needs to have some hard body lines to look good.

Can you try this with a kitted car? It will look better.

Yeah...hard body lines to accent the flat black.

I think that M5 is a great example.

What does the satin black look like...?

These flat black paint jobs don't get clearcoats right?

I was talking with somebody else on the forums who is doing this to their TL and they mentioned the maintenance was the same even though there is no glossy surface layer.

Satin paint does have a clear cost but its a form of singel-stage paint. We use seporror and house of color at our shop.

Strictly speaking, "Re" is an abbreviated form of the Latin "in re", which, "re" being the ablative case of "res" (thing), means "concerning" or "in the matter of."

That looks good and that's is a mild kit. A versus kit and the flat black would be even better.

it looks good, but not "good enough"

theres something lost when a paint job doesnt have a high gloss/shine

+1

It looks decent, but the only reason I would see someone doing it is for the "unique" factor.

I think flat black will look good on performance modded cars. It's the finishing touch on a beast.
