sorry, maybe i did not explain myself properly, black denim is a 'matt' black...like this one below which for example is used on harleys...

That's my future paint job, "Denim" or John Deere Blitz Black. I like the look of the "Denim" a lot. I'd be real interested in seeing a Photoshop, too. Gonna be a long time for me 'till I do paint. It's about last on my list...

to make a proper matt color, and i guess specially black, there is the same amount of work you need for a good brilliant color, only changes the last hand of surface transparent...i have my tvr painted matt light grey and it looks the business (it gives it an alu appearance...), i thought matt black with two stripes of 'vivid' black all across would look pretty good, specially with black centre/polished rims wheels and blk interior, plus everything totally dechromed
