I could not lay my hands on my pics of GN's done in Flat, but I did find this.
I have no idea where that semi / flat "bad ass" look would have come from or why you would think that. :D

I am not a fan. If you want your car flat black, get after it with a sander.
 
We have painted 2 flat black cars and a big rig where I work and are doing a new Camaro over xmas. It is alot of work and I think it is just a trend /fad that will die off. I remember back in 86 Jim Oddy;s Corvette was flat black and after that everyone did it. Jim said he didn;t do it on purpose. They did not have time to finish the car to be ready for the first race so they left it in black primer and put the decals on and headed out to the first race. lol
 
hello people; I like the look and I don't know what it would take to apply, maintain or live with. Every thing makes a full circle so it's hot for now and will be hot again when it goes away. I have seen a few around from a BMW to a Honda. I also like brushed alum.
instead of chrome.

not a fan of flat black most people think its primer that the car is unfinished, or you didn't have the money to paint the car
 
We are doing a 2010 Camaro at the shop this week. The cost to do inside the doors and taking everything off was $8500. The maintenance is more because you can't wax it. We found even on paint samples from being wiped off to show customers that it makes them have more of a shine. We are looking at some spray waxes right now but I have no data on them yet.
