I've always liked the matte military green vinyl look. If I were to change colors that one would be on the top of my list

Yes! I've thought about that also. Dark forest camo pattern, PanzerEvo. I have rust over passenger rear wheel well (big snow country, salted roads), and considered white over red (Marlboro style) or flat forest camo pattern. I say go for it, and post pics!

I was a judge a H2Oi here in OC and last year there was a drag DUB that was Honda green with a flattener for the clear and it was prob the dopest car there...

If you do it right I think it could turn out really good.

I too am in the middle of a color change, so good luck with it all.

Flat Orange with the flat white underneath for that true orange creamsicle look and feel.

I wouldn ever paint a car a matte or flat color. After about a year it starts to look horrible. Any grease or oil stains the paint and makes a dark spot. Bird poo stains it the oil from your hands stains it everything from oil on the roads. If I did a matte color I would have my car wrapped in a matte vinyl that way if I got tired of it peel it off back to factory color
