I like the look of flat/matte/satin on certain vehicles. However, paint is only part of the overall design goal. So, it needs to fit in with everything else.

Vehicles with those paint finishes make them look tougher/rougher. Color definitely is another factor.

I saw this West Coast Customs 2007 Dodge Charger on Barret Jackson Auctions. You really can't tell just how awesome it is from this pic. I can only imagine how great it is in person.

Awesome is referring to the flat PEARL paint job. That green was just glowing like it was radioactive!

I don't watch a lot of the West Coast Customs show so haven't seen all their work. However, I don't believe I've seen one vehicle they've done that I liked. This Charger I only like the paint. Their work is just not my style/taste.




Here's a another flat paint job on a mustang. Not bad:
