I saw this ferrari 360 at the bullrun in NYC earlier this summer. I think it is Jesse James.

Looks bad IMHO

Default flat black

That car is badass looking, I love how he painted it flat black, I bet a few Rarrai owners weren't too happy.

Yeah that car is awesome, but that is a ferrari, not a camaro. And that isn't your everyday flat black. A flat black camaro will just look like a beat up mullet ride IMO.

I think it would be hard to pull it off to look right on a newer camaro. You would have to add black wheels, tint, and some chrome inserts for lettering, badges, etc to make it look like its not a stolen car from a paint shop.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I just don't see the draw in this. It just looks primered (yes, even the Ferrari).

Default Flat or Semi-gloss??????

Flat (honest FLAT) wouldn't look good on anything other than military vehicles and those old hot rods. Semi-gloss (Which the GMPP Camaro and that Ferrari appeared to be) looks pretty nice. From what I remember from a (please don't slap me) Pimp My Ride episode, it's a special clear coat that makes the semi-gloss look...well....not as glossy. So, that said, here's before and after pics of my W68 Firebird. I painted the W68 kit semi-gloss black. Sorry about the after photo. My digital camera (while the thinnest 5 MP one made) doesn't take good night pics and I had to edit it for clarity/brightness.

flat black is cool to see but not to own.

these cars need to have an actual color

alot of people are dumb too so it will be know as " the car in black primer"
