One and two look good, still lots of chrome on both. Three while a well done paint job looks unfinished, like one of those tuner cars that got a big ground effects kit slapped on it and now they're saving up for a paint job. And you hit the nail on the head with the others. That astro could've been any color and it would still be a turd in the punchbowl.

For the record, except for the Ferrari, those vehicles are NOT "murdered out". I personally think the Chevy II and Camaro look pretty sweet. But... they still have their chrome trim and chrome wheels. A murdered out vehicle would have blacked out trim and wheels.

Yeah, I think we knew that, I think we were just comparing blacks, flat, satin, gloss, cleared etc.

I've been looking and looking and haven't been able to find a pic of our trucks in satin or murdered out. Have any more?

Cool, I didn't even notice and usually catch stuff like that...odd. That was a mod that I almost did when I was having a problem finding a 32 spine passengers side drop np241. Is it the 60 a 78-79?

I like the satin with the clear over top, Big selling point is that if you get a bug or bird **** on it you don't have to run out of your car immediately and get it off.

I agree with others on everything all black looks bad but throw in a off color or two and things change
The paint on my truck is bad but i did it for free and it is medium gloss black no clearcoat

Good thing everyone has different tastes in how they like their vehicles to look!
