    Does anyone have any good pictures of E30 with a Matte finish, I've thought about doing mine matte black, but I'd like to see any matte pics.

      You Dawg -don't do flat back, it's SO played out. What you want is roll-on truck bed liner. It's hella tight, cheap, and easy.

        +1 on that.

        Spray-on bedliner is also a very nice finish, but it's more expensive. Have you considered chalkboard paint?

          Chalkboard paint is awesome stuff! You can draw numbers on your car for the track and just wipe em' off when you are done... :D

                  Damn it, I need to practice not making my sarcasm too subtle. That shit does not transfer well over the interbutt.

                    I don't think its your sarcasm..........I have a friend who thinks that everything other people say and do is the "coolest thing ever" so I started calling my cell phone my "mobile" (like the british say it, mobILE) just to see how long it would take him to start saying it. 2 weeks, thats it, and I only saw him on the weekends!!!!

                        someone do flat white. or something cool. like a flat blue. anything besides black.

                        flat colors are all the rage in high end paintball guns. i think white would look badass.

                          thats anodizing. totally different. you might be able to pull it off on a car but it would look like shit on a car. IMO. and probably be really hard

                              Flat white? Just look at any white E30s that all their lives outdoors in central Australia or somewhere like Arizona/Texas. The white fades and eventually goes a flat base colour, making it look just like a white primer.

                              Easy to repaint, though.
