Thanks.

The original gloss black paint was pretty far gone. I actually wanted to do a complete re-color, and would probably have gone for an orange or bronze, but my wife said no. She didn’t think anything but black would look right with the interior, which is tan and black. My compromise was to keep it black, but go with matte to get a different look, and I couldn’t be happier.

I just don't understand the flat paint look. It looks the guys with no money to get vehicle painted so they just primer it.

So if you see a Lamborghini Aventador in Matte you figure the guy couldn’t afford paint?

The flat/matte look is very aggressive. Military vehicles, stealth fighter jets, tanks etc, all in flat paint.
