I tend to use matte paint on 90% of my cars, it really really helps bring out the boldness of vinyls. E.g. my pic, the red is so much better then if id used a dif paint type

I only use metallic and sometimes a slight color shift paint, metallic is the same thing as gloss w/o all the brightness so i don't see the point in it, and ive only had matte on my vette and it sorta looked weird

the only thing i dont like about matte paint is how the windows seem grey alot of times no matter how dark u tint them. And the matte black is just too black imo. Ive used it on my limegreen drift machine but i might start using it more. It works great for gettin those hard-to-get colors that are near impossible to get it to look the true color in gloss/metallic (ex. lime green, orange, etc.)

i redid my supras (2) and they look sweet now. They are more subtil now and not as flashy as b4. One is a dark maroon/red with stock spoiler, and a stock based body kit and the other is all black (metallic) with a small splash vynal that fades red --> yellow. Ill try to take some pics this weekend b/c my garage has been changed alot. The red supra is at the bottom of the AD page if u want a sneak peak

Nice F1, SR, supra, 350z, and charger r/t. Funny how the r/t actually looks like a velside kit. Did u tune those cop cars? if so did u time them?

yea, if u tune the is300 right it can be almost as fast as smokeday (falls behind on str8ts) but its just too allaround slow. I like how it looks tho.
Im in the process of uploading my new garage pics i just took.
