Shiny is Out

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

I love matte black cars. I'm seriously considering buying some plasti-dip and spraying my truck matte black. Special Ops style! :eusa-dance:

I don't object to the matt finish but I do wonder about the practicalities of keeping it clean.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Jesting apart, the SAS boys did actually paint their Landy's pink 'cos it blended in with the desert. Not a lot of people know that :D - Rob
