Looked long and hard for a black coupe when I was buying...
not many around at all, and especially in great shape.
The examples here look awesome

Satin...or Matte.

No flames coming from in this direction...I love it. Used this car as an example once in a convo with my wife...she also liked it.

If I ever buy a Nova...it will be painted like this...

Looks good....should have kept it!

RIGHT!

This is the type of car that would make you turn in the other direction or leave a parking lot if you saw it coming....

"Oh no not that car...I can't drive past THAT car....in THIS"

Then you go home and end up Doing a Frame Off...just so you can park next to the guy in the parking lot in a yr or so...

Damn you VetteBuyer for making us do frame offs!

It's satin...SEM Hot Rod Black. First car I ever painted completely myself.

I loved the car, but I have a '75 convertible now with a LS1/T56 that I like even more...and that one may eventually get a Carbon Flash Metallic paintjob. If it does, I'll add it to this thread!
