Looks like a car that needs a paint job. I'm not feeling it at all.

I know what your saying, it might give off that impression on a old pick up truck or a car that needs body work. But on a clean car like the one posted with nice wheels not so much.

I had second thoughts about flat black cars but after seeing some in person definitely changed my opinion.

Nicely Done OP.

Whats all that goes into maintenance of the flat black look?

What do you use to clean it and how does it hold up to elements and bird droppings?

its nice having a flat color. One thing is you wash it and your done. Because there is no shine, no need to polish . It also sucks because it shows where someone has touched the car because it leaves behind an oily print. Because its primer, if a bird **** on my car and i didn't get to it in time, it would stain my car . but i'm good for now

If you don't polish it then the water doesn't bead up, and you get dirty water spot city when it rains.
