Thanks, dude.........'preciate the examples. Thanks also to Tian!! I'm diggin' that M3. Pics help alot, since I'm wanting to have a true black exterior - dark charcoal-ish - to contrast with a gunmetal wheel-dark or flat silver lip (nothing shiney; chrome definitely is out.).
So, I'll likely stop by my buddy Ram's shop to discuss my overall vision.
In fact, was on the road yesterday and a silver 370Z (just in front of me jat a stoplight) absolutely left me. Not surpisingly, it was quick! Really quick, which is to say upper 4s has me really thinking 370-droptop. I'll give up about .2-.3, but that's still a upgrade. (Current Z's 0-60: 4.8 to 4.9 from what I've seen, about .7-.8 quicker than us depending on who's driving.)
THE MAKE-MINE VISION?
Flat black-on-black leather
20" gunmetal wheels
Maybe some Tein H-Techs
That's the basic theme, and I doubt seriously I'll see any setup like that, at least for a little while, 'til cats see how sweet it looks. Of course the same works well on a G37, should I go that route. (Especially a sedan; that would be unique.)
A Stillen/Vortech SC also on the wish list. At over 500 HP, that-a-fix that damn power-to-weight ratio.
Last, but not least, I'll keep an eye out for your G (like I could really miss it).

Dont take my info as pure facts. The sheen applies mostly to the level of "flatness" to the color. It doesnt affect the color directly.
For example:
Take a look at this truck
Now look at this Ferrari
In terms of sheen, the truck has less of a shine than the Ferrari. however, compare the color contrast and you will see that the Ferrari is more "black" per se, than the truck. The truck is almost looking grey.
The color of the truck is what i am avoiding. I do not like that color. It is played out, and doesnt match my theme. I am looking for the combination of the trucks level of sheen, with the color of the Ferrari (basically what Tian posted on that M3). That is my ultimate goal.
This information i learned by talking to my powder coating guy as well as Wikipedia (believe it or not).
You will definitely see me out in the streets my man. I hope to see you around

Really? 
Can I keep you in mind? Quite frankly I was curious as to how much it would cost to covert the whole DG Coupe to flat black. (In the event I get something else and decide against the 370Z droptop vision I had.)
Anyway, knowing that prices do change, what's the ballpark figure.....$_________ to $_________ for a G=Coupe?
If you could, GREEN GOBLIN, please post a range for me when you get a moment. Not in my immediate plans, but I'm planning.
As with the 70-80 hours of tattoo ink some of us have in our bodies, it is always and ONLY a matter of time & money, but they absolutely get done eventually.
And I tip well, too. Word.
Hol-la!!
