There's nothing wrong with going matt black persay, but it seems around these here parts people buy a perfectly decent 300 matt black it and tha pretty much puts the nail in the coffin for it even if it was a good car to start with.

Other than trampers who's going to buy a badly painted 300 after the rear quarters have been bashed in hitting an inanimate object?

Funny that the seller can't afford to finish it but at the bottom of the ad is looking for a Renault 21 Turbo (awesome cars though if not rare as hens teeth) or another 300, probably to ruin* in much the same way.

*my opinion not neccesarily fact :D

Essex. Tsk.
I'm a fan of matt/satin black. Magnumpie's rat catcher looks hard as a carpenters thumb.
But it's a route I'd only take if the car waranted a respray anyway. Mismatched pannels or peeling lawyer and rust. Then a satin black blowover is a cheap cover-all remedy. I like the look, but I wouldn't cover good paint just to try and look like a tramp. Drifter.

AS above, I'm all for customisations but just look at the state of the thing :( One day I hope rat boy fails will be selling for pennies like they do over at the other car scenes. Then I can strip them down and restore them to former glory :D
