Flat black paint job . . .
I was driving to work this morning and saw in transit a sweet GS430 IN ALL FLAT BLACK. I gotta get my car painted like that, but in white. Can anyone suggest a good body and paint spot? Any idea on cost?

Dont paint it flat white! It doesnt look good, it looks like a primered car.

99% of flat black / flat white jobs are done with a vinyl wrap similar to clear car covers.

I do not think I have ever seen a flat whit car. Is it white paint with no clear coat?

That is pretty sweet and yes, a vinyl wrap is the smart way to go if you want to do flat or satin black.
There's a thread devoted to this type of cover and/or paint scheme:

vinyl is still around $2000-$3000 for an entire wrap
