I agree it would be badass for a track car, but for an everyday driver i dont know...personally i wouldn't do it, i do think it looks sick, but it may look weird next to all the cars with clearcoats It's ultimately up to you, but thats my .02...good luck with your decision!

cant you just add to the white.. i dont know how paint works, but could you leave your WW on there, strip it down a bit and make its more of a pearl white with a very nice deep gloss.. that would look good. your resell value will be $0 dollars if you do it flat black. lol

i just don't want my question getting lost in the madness - i really want to know.

is it a paint you can get at a store, or do you have to send your IC off to somewhere?

Read last months SCC, a guy wrote in from the military saying the flat black paint actually helps decrease the ability of the car to get hit by a laser. That's pretty darn cool.

I say do it, not like u can't paint it back if it looks like ****.

Swain tech does it, you have to send it in and they coat it. I think it is www.swaintech.com
