Default Flat Black

What do you guys think about a new edge mustang being painted flat black. The idea kinda popped in my head and I would like some opinions. Let me know!

Somebody asked this same question in OT a week or so ago. I think it would look pretty awesome. I've seen a vette and a S197 in flat black and both were beautiful. Only thing to worry about though is finger prints. They will show like no other on flat black.

Doesn't matter what we think, it's your car. Personally, flat black is on a t-bucket or and 48 Merc with flames, hub caps and white walls.

Flat black with no emblems or decals and shaved handles. Some black rims would prob set it off too...

I think you could pull it off, but imo it would just look unfinished.

Hmmm, Flat black would look like the car is waiting to get a paint job, IMHO

^+1!!!!!!!!

IMO Flat Black is a terrible color to paint a car. I don't know any car that would look better in flat black than normal black.
