i personally like the look of matte paint. call me trendy if you want (since alot of people who "hustle da streets" rock the flat black paint or whatever) but i think it looks cool.
that's not to say i don't like shiny paint though. i can picture some cars looking awful in matte, and others would be cool in it. personally, i like my accord shiny as hell. i'm the guy that wipes fresh bird crap off the paint if i see it. i guess i have a wide tolerance for finishes, depending on the intended look.
i've seen a few rock-crawlers painted in different color bed-liner types of paint before...but of course they go looking for crap to run into so i guess its a different situation with them.
