I friggin' love Alan's flat black, it's sinister.

But....I've always wanted to see the Elise/Exige in a chamaleon color scheme like these TVR's.....that would look sweet!

This is a Subaru with BASF's Carizzma flat paint. I believe the application process is similar to mine.

No, it really doesn't. I saw plenty of samples that looked like primer or better. This blows them all away. Guess you need to see it in person.

subaru? Looks like an Acura RSX to me. The big club RSX might be a giveaway as well. I am a fan also of the flat colors.

OOPS! You're 100% correct. I was just looking at their flat blue Subaru and posted this picture instead.

Go with something that carries on the Lotus tradition -- like a Lotus 49 or John Player Special look.

Love the 2nd pic - the black underpart (for lack of something more intelligent to call it... lol) - the grey is nice, but the black is really wild. Good choice!
