Pic request: flat black supra *lowered preferably*

Flat black paint usually means that you can't afford a paint job. Or thats what I think every time I see it.
Haha, flat black supras remind me of F177 stealth. I agree on the not being able to afford paint when it's flat black, but to each his own i guess.
If you like it, do it. I personally think it's alright, but it also depends on the car (stance, bumper, wheels, etc.)
I like the look, but like Bryan said, the rest of the car has to go with it. If suprasick's car had chrome wheels, and burgundy interior, it would look stupid. My own opinion of course.

There's a lot of truth to that....
so far the majority of the examples of flat black Supras posted in this thread look like primered cars. Below are not Supras, but are good examples of flat black. The color is actually more like "satin" black. Additionally, flat black cars ought to have flat black wheels, to complete the theme (though the IS-F's bronze wheels, rear valance, and exhaust go well with the flat black). Notice that the silver wheels on the Ferrari and the classic car don't go as well with the flat black theme.

Satin Black > Flat/Matt Black.
While on the subject, does anyone have pictures of a a70 with a proper Satin Black paint job? I'm not feeling the "just primered" look 97% of the supras in this thread have got going on

^If nobody comes up with any, post in the photoshop section. I am sure somebody can make you one.
my 'matte black manifesto':
first of all, we have to establish that there is an INCREDIBLE difference between a FLAT black car and a SATIN black car...
also, in order for a matte paint job to look ANY good, let alone badass enough to look better than a gloss paintjob, it requires the body of the car to be P E R F E C T!!! all those cars rodel just posted look awesome, but theyre all fairly new, and dont have 20 years worth of dings and general surface indescrepancies that have to be sanded, hammered, dollied, and bondoed. the majority of those cars are also SATIN black. SO, regarding the 'cheap' look of a lot of flat black cars, they probably just werent done right. i know several people who have krylon ultra flat black spraypainted their cars, and OF COURSE it looks baddddd. so i guess the point im trying to make here is a good matte paintjob requires MORE time, effort, and money (if you arent doing it yourself) than a gloss paintjob ever would. there are no pretty reflections to hide behind. it's just you, and the naked surface of the car.
consider dimply bodywork on a matte black car 'automotive cellulite'.. a shoddy flat black paintjob on a crooked mk3 is going to look like rosie odonnel in a gstring... :barf: then look at the picture of that lotus elise. that car is naked, but it looks like jennifer lopez.
so in conclusion, if youre going to paint a car a matte color, go SATIN over flat, and before you paint it you better make sure the surface is baby'sass smooth.

PS: once your car is flat black, DO NOT EVER LET IT GET DIRTY!!
that is all
