Message	I wouldn't normally make an NZR post, but since the topic has come up several times now of what a Z might look like in flat black, I figured I'd post these pics I just saw in another forum here. This isn't exactly what I'd call "flat" - more like "satin". But I have to say, IMHO, it looks pretty nice on a sportscar. Much better than I had imagined. I understand you can't wax it, so I'm wondering how you take care of it, and also whether it marks easily like other flat black objects can. From what I understand, "flat" is an upcoming trend in automotive paint. On to the pics: You don't have to live in a bubble just because someone else caught the flu. Make your decision on your ability to trust yourself. - NytWolf 15:49:05 12/17/06 I was previously a aviation mechanic and avionic technician and this car is harder to work on than Aircraft. - Hocuz77 03:04:56 02/28/06
