Less surface area to Zaino! My Harley Davidson VROD is all flat black, all I use is soap/water and a dry towel.

I'm all for it... I'd sure like to see the opposite of maybe a Cyber Gray with flat silver back. The Silver/Gray's look very "NAVY" to me... how about a little red nose with white shark teeth like on a fighter plane? (okay the front end was a joke, but interesting, no?)

Come to think of it, pulling it off with other colors? If the back end could be taped off, just bead blast the clear coat to a matte finish and then color isnt an issue. Hmmmm.

Another thumbs up with your color combo.

To me it looks like someone forgot to paint their bumper. Just my opinion. I think most people would think the same way if they didn't know you purposely left it that way. JMO.

I like that look personally, but like others said, it looks a little too much like primer.
I thought flat paints were easier to keep clean, hence the rear flat paint treatment to wash it often. Maybe I was wrong.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the pics!
Your Vette looks real nice!

I think that it enhances the beauty of your car, however I do not think it would work with any other color.

Very, very nice!!!

hey cranky,

Have not put the 275/19's up front yet, there is still a bit of life on the 275's that are on there.

Thanx for the responses again guys.
Was not an easy decision to do it......feeling real good about it now.
Can't thank the team enough at Champion for a great job on the paint, and the blower.
