Default Flat Black RoB&Big Murder'd Out Style
I am getting my car painted Flat Black like Rob & Big's SUV; once this semester of college gets out. The entire car will be flat black.

For rims I am still undeclared. I temporarily put on the ISP's. I don't have the money to purchase $4000 rims for my ride because of college. I am wondering should I flat black the rims also or keep them the way they are? I have a feeling it may look bad, but on the other hand it may look legit.

My question to you guys: Using Zaino keeps my factory paint in prime condition, but I am wondering - What will I have to do to keep the paint looking fresh?

Sounds good -

Windex!

I will talk with the body shop about the rims. Hope it won't be an issue to paint them black also.

Minus 3 months till paint job.
