Default Flat balck or not?

Well I've come to the decision that I'm tired of gloss black on the WS6, it just seems to attract accidents. Its got quite a few scratches and I do bodywork for a living anyways. So I figured to change it to flat black since the paint job would only cost $300 plus materials. I think it would look good especially with the chrome Z06 wheels, kinda old school muscle car look. Tell me what you think.

When I think of flat black on a car, I think of an incomplete car or a drift car. Not that it's a bad thing, and I've never seen it on an f-bod, but... I dunno. If there's any f-bod it'll look good on, it's a WS6. Hell, if you think it'll look good then go for it, I wanna see some pics!

I think it will look great. There was a flat black camaro that gm used as a test vehicle on the cover on GM High Tech not too long ago, and the flat black paint job on that car looked bad ***. I say go for it.
