And just to toss my $0.02USD in, a satin or even flat finish works on an old* rat rod, but doesn't work on a Civic for example. Not to say that it can't, just that I haven't seen anyone really pull it off yet.

* where old means ~40 or more years old.


id have to disagree, theres been many "modern" cars done in satin that look great. the skunk2 racing 2006 civic drag car is satin black and looks crazy.. also i did my 93 civic in satin and i was very pleased with it and i constantly get praise for it. but to go with a satin or flat, IMO the car gotta have balls. its just kinda what that type of paintjob represents lol.. anyway heres my old civic i rattle canned almost 2 years ago
