Ah yes, the "Macco" paint job.

Seriously though, to each their own but matte finish paint jobs don't do anything for me. Always reminds me of old faded paint, or a clear coat job that went bad or someone running around with just primer on their car.

Just blah.

Love the stance of the car however.

I love the Lambo green!! I wish GM would make more unique colors for the Vette.

I actually like both of the above. The matte red is just very unusual. The Lambo green is an eye-popper!!

That red car looks like it was just wet sanded and ready for buffing.
I think it is funny.
These guys are driving around having done that to their car on purpose and thinking "boy am I cool,everyone is looking at me" when in reality they are looking and thinking look what that moron has done to his car.

Love that orange! that car is beautiful all round. How does the orange compare to inferno orange? Lighter or darker? Is it metallic?

Its lighter than inferno orange and it is supposed to be metallic.

The real Lamborghini color is Arancio Borealis, but because of Communist tree hugging san francisco bay area environmental liberals, the real solvent based PPG paint from Italy could not be procured. In the right light, it looks phenomenal!

It belongs to a friend of mine.

A few I saw at the 2010 homecoming...

This pink one had the most amazing metalic/metal flake I've ever seen. The picture just doesn't do it justice.
