No disrespect to you just an observation about auto schene history.

none taken. I did not grow up in the 60's/70's. Like yaristeve said though, I hardly see any actual muscle cars do it for the look. I DO understand doing it for a track car, or other racing that will do some amount of paint rubbing. I have seen that all over the racing schene. I personally do not like the look, but those who do it are "all go and no show". I Dont think it looks good on a Daily Driver. It just looks cheap, and if your going to repaint a car, esp. like the OP's amazing ride, go bigger than flat black. personal opinion.

I will agree that it was a trend that started up in the earlier 2000's that gave many kids still in school to get a cheap paint job and feel included with the rest. OP asked for opinions, and that is mine.

I totally agree if it is not done professionally, but for example a guy that I went to college with had his 350 Nova SS done in matte black with all of the Chrome resurfaced and it looked so nice it was nuts. It was the talk of many towns around me.

Glad you didn't take offense.

Mazilla,
Have you thought about the House of Kolor Kameleons?
