    Roadster in Flat or Matte colors

    Jumping way.. way ahead of myself. I looked online, and in the Gallery section. Didn't find much.

    Was wondering if anyone has good photos of a roadster done in flat grey, or flat black colors. I am tempted to go that rout.

    Tnx

    Very nice.

    I was curious if anyone has done a flat grey similar to late model Benz's or BMW's.

    Yeah, what he said about mine.



    It was never intended to be permanent when I did it 12 years ago. I'm tired of it (and have been for a long time) and think the whole flat/matte finish deal is outdated... I've just been too busy doing cars for others to change it! Honestly, flat/matte finishes are kind of a pain to live with.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    Blue With Black Stripes Would Look Better With Your Rims & Roll Bars!

    If I get a vote, which I don't!

    Whats the biggest pain of living with a flat finish anyways?

    All my race bikes were flat black, hence i was thinking about doing a car that way.
