never seen it on a camaro, but i have seen it on other cars, imports for the most part, and it looks pretty damn sweet.

i was planning on doing my next car matte or satin black, but i haven't talked to anyone who's had it for a long period of time who can let me know how it holds up compared to a normal car normal washing, water spots, any fading, that sort of thing.

I don't know. It looks dated. Like the old flat paint they had in the 80s lacking any real shine or depth.

I think it would look good on the 3rd gens and the 93-97 models. I agree with Sparky, the 98-02 need to shine.
