wow i can't believe you guys like that matte look
the s15 looks nice because its a damn nice car why would you pay a shop to paint your car when it looks like it was rattle-canned? |

/\ yep its an s15.. had an s13 before the celica, great car
 photoshopped the camo again but went for a different softer kind of pattern..again only a rough take..  need to re-arrange the black.. but its 2am, im just home from a 7hour shift and i want my bed.. but this idea just refuses to go away  if anyones interested, this is my inspiration:   but mostly this

I agree with the others who say that it always looks rattle canned. Anyone have a picture of one done by a paint shop?

It doesn't look like its been rattle cann'd..there are a bunch of show cars with insane matte finishes and they look awesome..including that first pic by the OP.
   I dunno, I've seen a Lambo with a matte finish in person and it is damn gorgeous. I guess you also have to see it in person to realize its a nice change.

It only works on modern, luxury cars IMO.
On our cars it would just look like primer. -------------------- |

I just had the sickest idea...an R8 in flatte black. Matte black rims, body, and side blade.
 Such a nasty car

Matte black does not equal rattle can primer/flat black. Matte paint jobs are typically done with a LOT of wetsanding...
