Default Anybody come across an R/T with a Black Matte finish?

CC failure is seriously starting to spread on my 02 and I'm kinda leaning toward a matte finish. I'd think the matte finish would be a lot easier to take care of and not show off evey damn imperfection[sm=headbang.gif] as it does now..( my car sits outside 24/7, so that's another reason I'm considering the matte finish).

Aw, the nitorious Mitsubishi CC problem, you've got to love it lol. I haven't seen one, are you refering to flat black? The only color that has CC problems is the black.

Default Go with the Glossy

I had to repaint my black R/T 2 years ago. I had it repainted Viper Black with a thick coat of clearcoat. Haven't had any problems with the paintjob since.

I'm thinking of going flat/matte black when I get this thing repainted, just not sure the look would be that great.

A car painted all Matte Black is considered "Murdered out". Google it. No Stratus' that Ive seen have been painted that way, only one eclipse. If you were going to get it painted, I'd get it done OEM, but with a higher quality clear.
