Default Murdered Out...

Got to thinking the other day. I was walking out of my friends house, and i looked at my car and thought, well hmmm maybe it would look good murdered out, like FLAT BLACK, and paint the 10spokes like a dark grey metallic, or just a reg metallic color
LOL i guess my question is, should i ? one i get a DD, or not ? it would really only come out on sunny days or nice nights for a few runs

Not sure what murdered out means but I like the all black look. Mine is black/black wheels/black lights. If my paint ever gets bad enough I'll probably flat black it. I know a local guy with a black primered Camaro, looks good to me.

^^the people that think this color is purple are ****** color blind, no joke....

Flat black does not belong on new f-bodies, it looks trashy and cheap IMO. at least paint is gloss black with a clear coat. What you are talking about doing will cheapen the look of your car

Flat black is getting really played out and it looks like **** unless its professionally done.

When I think of murdered out I think gloss black, with 5% tint, smoked headlights, tail lights, corners, and gloss black wheels.

I don't think it would look good on an f-bod. Maybe on something bigger like an Impala SS. Hell, just get an LTI to practice on. .................................J/k!

Flat black is ok on maybe a track only car that you only care about one thing,,,,SPEED!! But even then it still sucks, cuz even though its fast it still look looks like a POS!! and you wouldn't want that would you? Just be glad you have the color you do, I'm stuck with f****ing bright *** red. There's only about 5 billiontrillionmillionand a half of that damn color. I would trade paint color any day with you if it was that easy, but unfortunately it's not. Now if you were on a really tight budget and it was lets say an old car then flat would not be so bad but on a new fbody please don't. Good luck with whatever you choose to do though.

Man I love these threads! This is the third thread I've read today about flat/matte/satin black paint jobs and nearly everyone is a hater. Now I am definitely going to do it and flip off people that drive PURPLE cars while I'm hitting 15 psi in the left lane.<<--I'm just stirring the pot, don't get your feelers hurt.

You get very defensive about your Monterey Maroon Metallic mouthful of a purple color. I am just messing with you guys. I think your color is nice but I also think matte black looks wonderful when done professionally and with the right wheels.
