Flat Black.. What do you think?

I've been in the works of building this car for a long time now. As of the last couple of months the cost of enough sunset orange paint to cover the entire car has been holding me back. I really want to get this thing on the road so I went with a cheaper alternative until next winter.

Sorry for the poor pictures ill get better ones. I have the doors on now but no pictures, I should finish the hood and front bumper soon. Yes the engine compartment is already SOM, and it looks damn good all cleaned up.

Did you use a low gloss clear or is it just a single stage?

Is this one hot rod black?

I was looking at the holes in mine and how much it would cost and then I see this.

OP the T/a looks good man.

Looks pretty good to me. I think the SOM engine bay looks odd though.

Another vote for keep it. The SOM hood doesn't look all that bad. I think what would set it off is a set of deep dish wheels that are either all black or black centers with a big polished lip.
