My 03 is pretty beat up and I thinking about spraying it matte black cause I like how my bike looks with it. Just wondering if anyone has pics..

Idk.....i like it. I think with some touches it could look good...but its better than looking at a rust bucket, which are also hondas. :P

Lolz, now that you mention it, at least 25% of the hondas I see are flat black.

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.

But the question is: Are you just spray bombing it or getting it professionally painted with a matte finish?

A good matte black finish is awesome. A backyard rattle-canned paint job is....yeah no.

You're on a Neon forum w/ a guy claiming he's on neon #81 @ age 29. How do YOU think it's being painted?

matte black only looks good on old muscle cars.... not sport compacts.
