Default How come I never have seen an F-body painted like this?
I've always like a satin/matte type paint job... thought it looked real mean... i take it there's no clear coat on a paint job like this. So, how would that work...?

I really like cars with flat black paint jobs! Just don't know if I would want my car to have that paint job because it would probably get old after awhile...

Same reason you don't see guys taking their smokin hot women to get surgery that makes them look like Rosie O'Donnel. If you have something nice, don't dick it up. Then again, if you have something that already looks like $hit, go ahead and paint in bondo black.

depends on the car though. I think I've seen one Formula on LS1.com, a girl owns it, and that's got a flat black paint and that looks ridiculously sexy!

I love the look, and so do a lot of people. If done right, like a blacked out car it looks killer. Dick harrell cars came flat black

hahahaha now thats classic..... and besides who wants their car to look like a mustang that is always on a lift....... hahaha don't get me wrong i like black just as much as the next guy(maybe more) but i like black with a shine to it..... not flat mustang black
