Well, contemplating a new paint job. Can anyone photoshop these pics in flat black?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks, Dave

IMO the "new" flat finishes are a fad... your car is incredible... plus, w/ flat paint how will you not marr the finish.... you can't polish/wax it.

It is really hard to change glossy black to flat black
I have tried for a C6 owner and did not get it right. Maybe some other experts can do it since I am Photoshop rookie
Love the wheels
Dave, from your other post, look like you like to add 335 or 345 on the rears.
I got 335/30/20's the back and gotta fix the fender wells to get them fit. They are just a bit too big for C5's rear wheel wells. C6's rear wheel wells are bigger than C5's

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to get off my butt and start working on a 3rd phase for this thing. I've been busy trying to build my businesses over the last year and somewhat lost interest.
I know the flat black might sound trendy...maybe it is, but I think there's few cars out there that can make it look as good as a low, sinister, wide, C5.
As for the 345's......I'll be going with widened fenders and as soon as I locate the right tire and lock down the wheel sizes I am going to hook it up.
Mike76002 what fender kit did you go with?
Mike94z, BAMF is right, those are iForged Daytona's.
Cobra, BMAF....great to see you guys!
Thanks again y'all.

The only flat black car I have ever seen was an 86 Camaro that also had a stuffed bison head mounted on the hood.Quite a sight.

You really mean flat black on the body, like those old retro "rat" rods? OMG, your car is gorgeous! Don't do it!

There you go, a "quickie".... But I think it's "fugly"
I wouldn't do it... It would be like painting the Mona Lisa, on black velvet.....
