if it's to the bottom of the body line ..i would do it..i did a flat black (moulding down to rocker panel) left the rest of the car the original blue..(was an olds..a 1977)..it looked good..the thing about flat black is it will hide little stuff (alot better than gloss black) ..to each his own though ...the person that is going to have to live with it is YOU..ironically though about ten years ago, a buddy of mine painted his old Camaro flat black..reminded me of a stealth fighter!..I don't think he ever did paint it.(with REAL PAINT!)

Yeah go for it, I was about to before. Flat black is considered 'blingbling' in some JDM circles.... if you put clearcoat over flat black it acctually looks really good.

Paint job looks like crap, but underneath the hood is a nice 3 rotor conversion!

im not for bling paint or anything, and i used to think that flat looked nice. but honestly. your car will look like its been primered. and its so passe. every wanna be drifter or whatever the next hot "JDM SHiZZ y0" kid wants to have a flat black paint job.
just stick to factory. you wont kick yourself in the ***** when you grow out of the phase.
hell half of my bike is painted flat black

Hey man do what you want, I don't think the flat black looks bad. I for one would probably do it if a new paint job just wasn't in the budget. $2500 for a cheap coat or 50 spray cans from the local canadian tire? hmmmmmm

You guys obviously haven't ever spray painted too many cars with spray cans
I think about 6 cans will do the trick hahah. How do I know?

Thats the one I was thinking about, I beleive it was a wrx and they used 50 cans on it, so I figured that thats what it would take.

You'll have the golf ball effect too!

it does NOT take 50 cans to spray a car flat black!
I think I bought 9 or 10 cans to spraypaint my talon flat black, including the wheels. I still have 2 left - so I'd say 7 or 8 cans is probably lots.
50 would have a layer of paint 1/2" thick.
aside from the hood, it turned out flawless. the hood looks like crap, but I think if I was doing it a second time I could do better... I did it first, which was dumb.
the only thing that SUCKS about flat black is it picks up dirt really quickly because it's, well, flat - my car is always filthy and it is a ******* pain in the *** to clean.
if I was doing it again, I think I'd use a spray gun just because it would be faster and easier - my thumb and finger hurt for a while after holding down the stupid button for so long!

yeah, I had one... your finger hurts with it after a while too, since they dont' give you a good torque ratio onto the lid...
as a bonus, the one I had messed up the spray pattern, making big ugly droplets get into the paint stream somehow... so I dont think I used it for very long.. it was probably just the cans I had though.
