Default something different maybe

has anyone done anything different... i mean dont get me wrong i love the 10,000$ shiny paint jobs, but im a lil different in the fact that i love the look of a primered car, i love "rat rods" ect.... ive seen several cars hand painted either with a brush or a roller that i love.. are there any websites or places i can research different ideas... i want my camaro to stand out in a way that ppl will be a lil confused at first when they see it, they will wonder if that was done on purpose or not lol... mind you everything inside and underneath is flat black... no carpet ect.. we are only talking about the outside

3 things i know....

i want it to be one of a kind, i want to do it myself if possible like everything else with the car, and i want it to stay that way. as in not fade in a month

plz no flaming, everything with this car has been done by me, for me, and taking it to a shop to be painted like everyone else's just isn't for me

flat black won't look good, maybe Matte black......its like a glossy black, but no clear coat, so its not as shiny. They used it on the LS-7 powered camaro on gmhightech I think.....

Kustom Shop's Hot Rod Flatz has ton of flat, durable paints. If you're looking for something that will hold up and not chalk up, don't even consider rattle can.
