Really thinking about murdering my Miata...(Satin Black)
The more I think about it, I think I want to go all black on my car. I'm thinking I'd like to go with a satin black to keep a little sheen since I'm not a fan of complete flat black. Does anyone have any experience with this? Have any recommendations on the easiest/cheapest way for me to get this done? Recommend certain brands/products? Application techniques? Any informative sites you've bookmarked over time? The only thing I guess I'm on the fence about is if I'd want to keep the carbon wrap and paint everywhere else (Not the HT) or if I would want to yank off the wrap and paint everything but the HT.
Nick, get your paint gun warmed up!

flat black is ******* gay and heinous. Its really really really really difficult to maintain too.
That is vinyl which I highly suggest over paint in any and every capacity. I would have done vinyl on mine (UPS brown) if it weren't such an awesome green.

The only way you can pull off flat black is with a high-end car ... it's a bitch to maintain and having it on something you use/abuse on a regular basis is NOT going to be fun (vinyl may fair better than paint in this aspect, no experience there) but regardless on something like a miata it's going to look cheap and unfinished, almost like you rattle canned it with black primer like some honda-ricer ***.
