I think you need racing stripes again, but using reflective road/highway paint.

thats hot, but only because that car would be hot in any color… in no way would I ever look at that car compared to one with a perfect gloss paint job and say the flat black looks better.

Flat black is for fast civics :tup:

That does look pretty fucking evil in that color though. Note: This is satin black paint/clear, not “dude, I got some primer, let’s flat black my Metro” :bloated:

That car could be hot pink and I’d still drive it.

But it does look pretty friggin’ good with the flat black. The rims are very meh though. I love the exhausts…

That is not a true flat that is why it looks good.  
I would call it more of a satin than flat.

Imagine how hot it’s going to be when they put some paint and clearcoat over that primer.
