  2. You wouldn't believe what body work the flat back can hide. It can make the North Atlantic look smooth. I'm straightening my third one now. What looks good is often hidden which is what gives it the bad name it has. With good reason.

    Yeah, pretty much my feelings too, except I'd put a set of polished or chrome Torq Thrusts on it with blackwalls. Not a fan of flat paint of any color, except maybe a semi flat black on a few of the musclecar hoods.
     
  4. Hey all, it's not flat black. it's matte or eggshell finish. does have a slight gloss 2 it. That's what the customer wanted. And the old paint was blocked then sealed B4 the matte went on. Nuttin 2 hide.

    ^Yup, driving me boonkers, why can't anyone see that it's Satin?!
    It has a muted shine to it so you can see waves, dents, etc.

  7. Only thing I didn't like on the "before" was the orange wheels. Still not to fond of them. Guess it doesn't really matter since it was a flip job and it's already sold.
