There is a difference between matte and flat, most of these cars are matte almost semi-gloss at best.

The Matte Black looks almost like it has a silverish tinge to it…thats what I like about it.

i disagree, i don’t think any of the cars look that good with a flat/matte finish, it looks cheap. it looks ok, but i would never go out of my way to paint any nice car like that.

Can anyone find me a pic of a flat black 84 ta? I wanna see how it looks. I love the paint of the elise…that was hot. It looks almost like a very deep silver/black depending where the light hits it.

Thats exactly what I thought. Its kind of cool. I wonder how well that finish holds up and what type of care it needs?

Flat black only really looks good on high end cars. It just looks cheap and trashy on your average car.
