Default Sol paint idea

Thinking about possibly goingflat black on the Sol as the new paint job and just leave my CF hood and lip as they are. what do you think? i've been looking at flat black cars for about 2 weeks now and i don't think there's anything more agressive looking than a flat color! saw a flat blue STI and DDAAAMMNNNN crazyness.

if you could get it to look that polished flat i say go for it. me personally i like shine.. but flat would be hot if it looked like that sti lol. i had an ex that had a flat black car and it wasn't all that.

i like flat colors too... i dont think it'd look that good on the sol... plus it'd look retarded with a shiny carbon fiber hood and lip... i kinda like this hunter green with gold rims idea

even just regular gloss black with gold rims would look cool

yea i've seen that one before.

Shreff - if you have a flat color i'm pretty sure you can't put a flake in it.

My other option that i have been sold on for some time is going midnight black withgold flake w/ gold Falken hanabi's

I cant STAND flat black either.

Seriously dude, the whole flat black thing is just so typical of ricers... they killed it.

true... ricers do do it a lot BUT 1. there aren't many down here (flat black cars) as a matter of fact i don't think i've ever seen a professionaly painted flat black import down here. 2. i'd be happy if somebody thought i was a ricer... that way when my 300whp (eventually 200will have to do for now)toasts them they will shut their damn mouths.

why wouldnt you be able to put flake on a flat color? you just mix the pearl or metallic into the paint...
