MATTE black (called Hotrod Suede) is a personal choice and difficult to get to lay right (even and consistant instead of mottled and tiger striped with high and low spotted looks). Far more difficult than a typical BC/CC paint job...Looks great when done right, but looks like a rattle can primer job when done wrong...
As a MAACO franchisee/shop owner, I love to hear comments like this then put guys who state them in their place with shots like this:
A beautiful tri stage Velocity Red Mica that when cut and buffed will rival anything you see coming out of a high priced shop.We use the same paint lines, the same materials, and at least in my case a higher qualified painter to do our work than other shops. However, as a disclaimer, since every shop is independently owned and operated I will say results will vary from shop to shop and I am not quite your typical owner
