keep in mind, if you want to do a matte finish in black, it's quite possible WITHOUT ACTUALLY PAINTING... just get HUGE rolls of matte black vinyl!
i saw a BMW locally that was done up like that. you couldn't even tell it was vinyl because the roll they used was so big that there were no seams. looked pretty cool and at the same time - pretty much zero chances of rock chips!

Flat black looks cheap. Unless you're going for a primer-looking theme, stick to something with more gloss to it.

you are in ft. lauderdale right? a hot trend changes almost as fast as the weather down there. sprays are pretty expensive so if the trend is gone next summer then you are rolling around with a really dated look. ![No No No](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/nono.gif)
keep it classy and you can't go wrong even in a trendy place like ft. liquerdale.

My girl and her daughter was in the GS430 with me the first lap I took at Moroso. She was begging me to let her out of the car after the first corner I took. Some how the guys from Lexus talked her into taking the ISF around the track but she dorve it like my grandma would have. I was able to talk her into mashing the gas once on the back straight. I wish I had a sound clip of her while I was driving. She was about to cry... But her twelve year old daughter couldnt stop laughing.
