    A properly painted satin black car will cost more, and be just as difficult/expensive to fix as a conventional black car. But IA likes spray paint, sooo.....

    Pay someone to properly cut/polish your car and that is the best it will ever look. 85% black aftermarket paint jobs look like shit compared to factory paint. Satin black is played out already an no one does it right. If you are near Marietta, I'll buff your car and you'll see what I mean.

    Vinyl won't cost much at all and will last years upon years with no maintenance at all.

    Of course. That's what we're about to start specializing in.

    They generally wrap exotics in flat black vinyl as to not ruin a $50,000 paint job.

    ive always liked a matte black car so that would be awesome. however if you go with black with alot of pearl ive seen some very nice paint jobs with different colors of pearl, had an 03 TL that was Nighthawk black pearl and it had alot of green pearl in it, also a red pearl looks great over black

    Just my opinion though

    Nice car man!
