Default matte black

Hey guys, I'm really interested in getting my 2005 mustang painted matte black but I would like to see how it looks first. Can anybody photoshop something for me? Or maybe somebody has a pic like that I can see?

Here is what I would guess a matte black paint job would look like. If it was me, I would use the 'paint job' money and buy blackout parts (light covers, trunk panel, tint, wheels?, etc); that route might be cheaper

Thanks Xeno, I appreciate it. I have Photoshop Elements but I have no clue how to use itMaybe I should just do Glossy black with a couple of matte black stripes? What do you think?

Well I just showed the wife your photoshop and she likes it. Do you think you could tint the windows, add window louvres and side scoops and lower it a little? I would appreciate it thanks.

I will try to add some louvers and scoops later today for ya, and I like the glossy black with matte black stripes a lot (Ive seen a gt500 like that and it was one of the best looking s197s I have ever seen.[/align][/align]the best things I can recommend for doing photoshops like that is having patience and just playing around with the program [/align]

Ok, here are some louvers, scoops, 'lowered' with the best look I could get, and tinted windows.
