Default Radical Paint Idea!!!

Ok I have been thinking about what kinds of racing stripes I want to put on my car and decided on a dual stripe with 2 extra accent stripe design in matte black color.

Well recently I have been seeing a post here and a post there about Black Satin paint for the entire car looking like this (sorry its a honda but its a closeup for viewing)



So what do you guys think of me painting my whole car this "satin black" or matte black color and then putting gloss black stripes down the middle?

I think its a cool idea just wanted to bounce it off yall and see what you guys think.

cheers,
-James

If you do that, your car might get picked up for the remake of Mad Max, or should I say: Mad James.

yeah it's definitely old school and people are definitely going to be assuming your driving your car around with just primer waiting to get it painted. dude, i kinda wish i had a black mustang for one simple reason: matte black racing stripes on black!!!! that combo looks bad ***! just go with that and I think you'll be much happier down the road.
