IT'S NOT YOU!!! The thread where someone was asking about flat black paint made me question why some cars look good in flat black and others like complete shit... I think you just nailed it.
Satin black, not flat black.
Flat black is what you see people doing to their cars in quebec when the paint is so badly damaged and rust everywhere. Canadian Tire spray paint flat black is what they do. Not a pretty color, gets dirty super fast.
ye i think those cars a more like satin black then flat...cuz i saw some flat back and it looks like shit but then again depends how well the job was done.
