I'm thinking about going this route too once my power mods are done, it looks nice, hopefully there will be more finishes by then. I like this Lexus ISF that was at the LA Autoshow, looks like the BATMOBILE.

if you look on the OTHER forum, you'll see that Josh painted his Z in a flat nearly a year ago. He went with the hotrod flatz gunsmoke metallic. it looks pretty wicked.

Okay, stupid noob question:
How do you care for this type of paint job? Do you wash/wax/polish like regular paint? That seems like it would defeat the purpose... but you have to take care of it... just curious.
P.S. Looks f***ing awesome. Looking forward to the finished pics.
