Have you ever considered a color like this?

Have you ever considered a color like this?...

Always wondered, this is a good example:



Would you do that to your X2M35i?

WOW!

Pretty cool to look at.. but seeing as I daily drive the car I would imagine it be a serious increase in risk while driving at night. I've had plenty of close calls all the time, and to add a super black paint that would make things look "off" at night with just the bright lights appearing out of nowhere would be.. probably a bad bad idea.

Not if I want to drive at night or worse dusk or dawn. That car has to be close to invisible in low light. So I will bite what is dipping your car? is that like plastic-dipping your whole car

Agree. It's like a shadow car.

I'll never put a mat black on my car. If it's black, I like it shiny.
Definitely not on the X2 m35 in my opinion.

That said, I would see this black on another shape of car. On the car he did, it doesn't look good.
Or I would put this black on a stealth police car with tinted lights... full kit. That would look awesome...

aside from the reasons listed above, caring for black paint is nightmare.
