Im heading to a flat silver. Matte Silver. with a few black accents or CF, would look nice.

I've seen some GTIs, and some Bimmers use this paint. Here is a lambo.

i will also put my 2 cents in ha ha ha
I have been doing bodywork for 10 yrs and everytime a car is painted with spraypaint it dosent matter what kind it is you have to sand that whole part down to the metal because spray paint and auto paint is like oil and water as soon as you start to spray it the paint will start bubbling and you will get hundreds of fish-eyes. So if you paint your car getting even a cheaper kind of auto paint would be better because in the long run you arent saving any money at all

How is an opinion a fail? I personally think gloss looks a lot better on anything, but a flat or satin has potential to look good.
