I like it. At least from the pictures. Not too keen on the wheels but I like the car. I agree with some of the posters that I different color would have been better but I like it over all.

I second this, the wheels were a mistake.

Who says a paint job has to be shiny and smooth.
Better well done than a crPPy half ?? job.

After posting earlier.

I think this it is really Practical, versus the shiny Vanity we normally do.

I keep both my cars, and the wifes shined YES.

But in most things I am practical, not vainity.

Years ago I had an old Pinto (No comments, it really was a great car) , picked up for a couple of hundred from a body shop where the owner of the car decided not to pay for repairs. they had put it all back together but never painted it.
Put a couple of hundred more (Tires, Shocks and a muffler) into it, and sprayed it on my driveway FLAT BLACK RUSTOLEM.
4 or 5 years later sold it for 500 bucks, it was still a strong and good runner. Even saw it again SEVERAL years later, running fine.

The wheels ??
and on on Audi ??? maybe on a semi junker, ie good driver but ?? car.

Now he can strap 4x8's to the roof of his car and not worry about the paintjob.

Looks kind of cool... I would have gone with stealth black. I wonder if the texture helps break up RADAR signals

Wow I think I just found a solution to my VW's paint!

I'm going to get some spray cans of this stuff from Autozoo and go nuts.

Beauty is in the beholder, I saw a flat black M5 in Seattle last week that looked dirty at first but stunning when I got a close look.

Reminds me of the spray on granite look a like stuff that was popular for a while.

Must have a terrible drag coefficient now.
