That's horrible. It looks like barbeque grill paint that was applied with an aerosol can.

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's vinyl - it's too flat of a finish. There are plenty on matte/satin/flat black vinyled cars that look great.

What many don't understand about this look is that there has to be a certain sheen, which is a satin effect, which allows flat black to work.

IMHO the only vehicles needing flat finishes are military. I see no beauty in a flat (or satin) black finish.

We all know you said it was vinyl Joe (repeatedly). My comment was merely pointing out that no matter if it is vinyl or paint, it's just too flat of a finish.

Just like me mentioning in my one post that it was 'too flat of a finish' before you quoted me?
