Question Flat Black 4th Gen ? ? ?

I'm thinking about possibly painting my '96 Camaro flat black... does anyone have any pics of a 4th Gen in flat black?

Thanks!

Don't do it. Please don't do it. It looks like it's in primer even after it's finished.

Well, it will make your car stand out. Most people will be wondering when you are going to finish the paint job.

thanks guys! yeah, I like it... but I'm not sure I'm willing to make that kind of commitment.
I think it looks sweet in the earlier generation cars , but I'm still not sure I'm sold on the idea for a 4th gen

The T/A looks good, but those first gens just look unfinished. And I'd still rather see the T/A in gloss black over flat.

From the sounds of it, you would think it wouldn't look good. I have seen several cars though that have successfully pulled off the flat black paintjob.

I suspect a door ding would show up on flat black like a huge dent.

Flat black only looks good on older muscle cars(Novas, Chevelles, Chargers, etc.), and rat rods...newer cars just don't look right painted flat black. I wouldn't even attempt it on a 3rd gen Camaro.

ah, yes satin black ... and maybe paint my wagon wheels to match?

stupid front plate ( NYS ) will kind of take away from the look.

Here's what my car looks like today (couldn't upload pics, but here's the FOR SALE link from last year):
