I had my first vehicle with a matte blue finish in 1997. I've liked the look ever since.

Matte can be cool, but tbh any paintjob done in moderation is usually the best.







Nothing pisses me off like a highly skilled but over enthusiastic paint brush master ruins a car.

I prefer a front to back fade. I really like a blue front fading into a black rear. Like this, but without the blue pinstripes, and only one shade of blue:

i like fades also, but that one i do not like.. I like it to be a lot more blended than a 'sharper' transition like above
