I’m looking to get my car painted and was hoping to get some recommendations… I want to get the car painted satin (flat) black [![](https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-tech.com-vbulletin/800x600/picture_php_pictureid_51132_7f8a14632636f401411fbfae0f3cdf4b404c3c18.jpg) ](https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-tech.com-vbulletin/800x600/picture_php_pictureid_51132_7f8a14632636f401411fbfae0f3cdf4b404c3c18.jpg) [![](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa457/TheTrader84/The%20Hatch/FamouS011.jpg) ](http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa457/TheTrader84/The%20Hatch/FamouS011.jpg) but I hear flat black is more of a pain than its actually worth… the car’s not rotted or rusted anywhere; the paint on it is shit and doesn’t match. I want a place that can do a professional job finding the lowest price is not my priority… I’m looking for the best quality. ---

have you considered vinyl? I’m just thinking a quality vinyl job would be cheaper then a quality paint job for the same look. I’m no expert but maybe something worth looking into ---
