Good thing is that I had the pro painter who's going to paint my truck (it's a '50) look at the test and give me the thumbs up, so I'm stoked that it will work.

I've been wanting to do a matte finish paint job this whole build, but after further investigation, there are A LOT of plain'ol matte finishes out there. Especially in black. I'm hoping that this idea takes me in a another direction without losing the spirit of the early 60's period hot rod that I'm after. Sinister looking, with black steelies, wide whites, air ride, oil rubbed leather interior, and a lot of chrome.
