while I agree largley with '85cutlass on this, I am a huge supporter of flat black. I painted my 1979 Camaro flat black when I first started driving it 7 years ago, and through a few redos (it is a rattle-can job after all), it is still flat black. I just can't get away from it. Stock appearing paint would be good to keep you a little under the laws eyes, even though that cowl hood screams "look at me". When I begin my Regal build, I am lookin to keep it a stock white paint job, just to keep the attention low. Sorry guys, bu the grandma trim has got to go though, to me it just hurts the eyes.
