I was told that the more you wash dry it, the more it becomes "glossy".

Any truth to this??

the flat black is nice but no flat black car is complete without flat black wheels and maybe a polished lip. This is the route im going with my Camaro, havent really seen a flat black Camaro but I will have one soon. Anyone know of or have pics of a flat black Camaro? Or as some people call it Murdered Out.

Sorry Garett. I did some searching again and Richie is still not "on" the board with IB on sponsorship. I have asked the IB administration to let me know so I can post their info back up.

Thanks,
LS1tech Staff


Richie Collision is the name of the shop though. (No other info can be posted)

Now all he needs is some Russian Army Surplus Night Vision Goggles and he's all set to be a night time bootlegger. There was (may still be) a C4 in Houston that was built like so to do just that. That guy made a lot of money and the cops never did catch him.

My '75 Trans Am was primer all through high school back in the late eightys. Everybody was always asking me when I was going to paint it.

As far as the vette goes, I'd like it more if the back up lights were painted as well as the front air vents. Remember Murdered Out is all black not just mostly black.
