Default Anyone with primer, satin, flat black cars?

Just toying around with an idea. How would a flat black exterior with glossy black accents and black chrome wheels and tips sound to you guys? (I ain't gonna give away the exact car I have in mind... ) If anyone has pics, post 'em up!

I think a primed out car with glossy accents and chrome anything would definately need to have fake bullets on the rear bumper and have the cupholder transformed into a taco holder.

I can imagine that. I can also see it looking mean as hell... maybe not a primer black, but some other non-glossy black... I need pics, lol

Well, flat black or primered cars are anything but ricey. Ever heard of Rat Rods??? I would however stay away from the gloss accents and chrome and do it right. Keep everything dull and flat.

nice... I should try that Really though, what if it weren't primer, just a not-so-glossy black, with a contrasting gloss black 30th anerversery stripe down the center?

some cars can pull it off some cant.. some look good with satin accents.

That Dick harrel car doesnt lool all that bad with a satin finish on it. its that old school bad *** look. Basically says im a bitchn car and do need to be shiny to prove it.

Blacks the only color it works for tho.

Well no, satin paint obviously doesn't look ricey on a $100,000 DH car or a $250,000 Ferrari. But I imagine anybody's little pet project would not be a flat black Ferrari with gloss accents.

Maybe if you painted the car regularly and ran with a flat black stripe or hood scoop-but I wouldn't do the whole car.

Now that's what I'm thinking! Tell me that wouldn't look dead sexy with glossy accents! Any more?

Which I took to mean "both cars" as both cars I posted... Not the DH car since he mentioned seperately... I'm the one who posted the LS7 pics so definetly didn't need an explanation on the pics I posted
