My personal opinion is that satin/flat paint jobs look unfinished. Like you're waiting for next payday so you can have the color coat applied. Just my opinion, it's worth what you paid for it.

There's a flat black 996 turbo cab running around Malibu where I live and imo, it looks kinda like ****, very original and when you see it you think WTF? but it just doesn't work on such a high end supposedly sleek car. On certain cars like the first two posted and the VW, satin paint rocks, especially satin silver.

Above, that is a satin paintjob which looks good.
And I'm not saying that non-shiny paint looks bad on supercars, but flat black looks bad on a porsche turbo. Almost any satin paint job which isn't black would probably look great, but the flat black looks like **** usually.

The different between it looklike like rice **** and looking nice is how it's applied.
looks like **** = comes in a can and you and your friends do it. No matter what, spray paint looks like **** on large surfaces.
looks good = sprayed using a automotive spray gun
satin
flat
I say if you're going to do it, have a shop do it the right way with the right satin paint.
