Default Any flat black cars??

I used to think old muscle cars looked tough as hell when they were flat black. Has anyone painted their ls1 flat black?
Any downside to doing this? I think my Z28 might look cool flat black with smoked lights all around.

love flat black, not becuase of the bad *** look (wheel yeah that part of it ) but becuase i've always loved flat black, not flashy..just down to buisness. i've always wanted to do mine flat black but wont since the paint is nice and shiney, maybe if i ever git in a wreck (knock on wood) i'll paint it all flat black...includeing the rims! i'm a flat black freak! love that color. saw a new mustang (like the 99's) in flat black, looks bitchin as hell.

My paint is all shiny too, but it's red, and I don't like red!!
I may give it a shot here in a month or so. I damn sure would appreciate a photoshop preview.
