Vivid colors are the exception to the rule. That DOES look sharp. But, it has more of that "novelty effect" and I would miss my glossy mirror finish paint pretty quickly.

I don't think it looks bad and it will protect your cars finish til you get tired of the matte look.

Looks like primer. Anytime I see an old muscle car running around with a dull flat primer look, I think, damn, can't wait til that guy gathers enough money to paint his car!

I wouldn't do it to my car...but I do like the way it looks. It's kind of a newer version of a Two-Lane-Blacktop kind of look. Your car needs to be able to run 10's to be allowed to have this look.

How do you keep it clean? A scrub brush?

looks good to me, menacing. I would consider a more aggressive set of wheels to go with it but the ones you have look fine. maybe green rims RTR/VG JR style
