And I thought my 89 Vette needed a paint job!  Now I can just say it's a
carbon black finish.

They had a couple of matte paint cars at the SF auto show.  A yellow
Lamborghini pulled it off.  A rust colored Lexus looked sick -- I mean bad
-- I mean not pleasant.  I guess it would be easier for product photography.
