Re: The most recent paint trend - Flat Black
I think it only looks good on older cars. I think it looks "tacky" on new cars. On a old '32 Ford perfect. Rolls Royce NO!

Yes satin or matte, only looks good in black.

Heres an E38 7 that looks amazing, especially the front shot

Re: The most recent paint trend - Flat Black
I'm waiting to find a customer's car that I can wrap in matte black. The vinyl is very thick and good for 5-10 years easily.

Re: The most recent paint trend - Flat Black
Notice how 9 out of 10 times flat black only looks good in HDR photos.....
