We paint alot of wheels flat/matte black and its a flattening clearcoat. The finish is not as durable as gloss black but since its a clearcoat, it is protected.

I don't know why, but I've never liked Techart wheels. The wing seems a little big too.

Love that rear bumper. Aside from that maybe its just the horrible lighting indoors but its giving the car a weird silver effect that Im definitely not digging. Would be nice to see it out doors in natural light.

And maybe smoke the tails a bit, not hardcore so it looks plastic, but just a little bit to give it a meaner edge.

I like the matte-but the car looks much more refined in gloss

I like the car body color. However, the wheels and yellow accents have to go.....
Perhaps polished alloy or something else.
Not feeling the yellow.

Car looks sweet and those rims are almost exactly what I want color combo wise....however is it just me or is that yellow strip a bit too thick?
