Honestly, I think you should do it, but execute it right, like flat black it, but you gotta murder everything out, grill, headlights, door trim, handles, and maybe even your wheels. I think it can be done right.

if you really want to go through with the primer looking flat black, at least do flat black vinyl. dont paint it. flat paint requires extra/special care when cleaning. but then again so does vinyl. make sure no birds shit on it.

it would look bad.

just make sure to add a wink mirror, sticker bombed front lip and tow hook with a small toy hanging off to complete the look.
