Default Flat Black...should I Do It?

UPDATED
yea lots of good feedback on this. I was also looking around and saw HidalgoZ's car and he has a black z with flat black berger, spoiler, and stripes. I was thinking it would look pretty cool if i did a manta stripe..SATIN black that extends to the hatchback and do the berger mod in SATIN black and than do what i have right now on my berger panel (the polished CAMARO letters and polished SS emblems). And than i will get 35th anniversary wheels and paint those black- but should i powder coat em' satin black as well? Does this sound like it would be tight or just stupid... O and yes if i do do this i am going to be putting down A LOT of money to make it look badass

no dont do it... its getting old fast, at least where i am... every ricer / tuner / hotrod in the buffalo area has done it, or wants to. blah.

on another note, i did see picks of a mercerdes SL63 in a dark flat green that looked really good. i guess i'm just tired of seeing half-assed flat black paint jobs.

wow it seems like there's alot of pussies on here, Mr. MycamaroSS you like the way it looks right? You seen it done right like on MTV, and you seen it done wrong like the honda across the street. So DO IT RIGHT, a semi-gloss flat black camaro would look very very sick. Please do what you know looks good. BTW take a look at this lambo...

I agree with 98 Formula everyone and their mother is doing it. Maybe semi-flat the berger panel and semi-flat rims.

very good advice modesto that's actually what i was gonna do But im still second guessing it becuase this would be a big step. I think im gonna have to really think about this longer and do a little bit more research. I appreciate the diverse opinions on this...really opens my eyes of what everyone thinks about this
