Default Flat Red?

What do you guys think about flat red? My shop just got donated a bunch and I'm kind of considering redoing my whole car in flat red/flat black and I've never seen it done on an fbody or any car for that matter so I'm not sure how it'll look. Ill probably spray a test panel and see how it looks but what would you guys think?

Ive been Tempted to do Red plasti Dip with black roof, Mirrors, and under spoiler on my Bird. To Test it out since plasti dip is removable, But I've been Involved with my Turbo Build. I think it would look cool.

Never seen a "flat" anything I've cared for... matte or satin is a different story though.

Never seen a flat/satin/matte red. Blue, Black, Silver all look good IMO. I'd be curious to see how red turns out.

I think it has potential to be bad *** if done right!


I would love to have something like that if I could afford the paint job.
