Although I don't care for it so much, I think that the flat black paint can have its place. Albeit limited. Since, you mentioned the primered civic look, this paint makes me think of Skunk2 an import tuuner performance parts manufacturer. This "stealth black" finish is sort of a trademark of theirs. This trend was interresting when it was limited to show vehicles (imports, etc) or vehicles going for a nestalic flare (think rat-racers). As far as being used on high end BMW's or Rolls', the effect is lost on me. I would much rather see an intriging new color or something with so much depth that you just want to stop and stare.
