Sorry to hear about your car...
I was very close to getting a flat paint job, but I received lots of warnings from the painter. He basically said that flat paints (particularly darker tones) will make the car look dirty quite more often than on glossy paints, since you will be able to see scratches and smudges a lot more easily. Not that I don't think a flat paint job looks bad... I think it would look great, at least at first.

I wonder does anyone get SEX instead of MONEY for this kind of thing? Im thinking you could save a lot on insurance premiums. Sort of like you save money by giving up your right to sue for P&S. Could be a whole new industry! |

I think a lot of people confuse Flat paint jobs versus Satin paint jobs. Flat paint jobs do look like crap and lend to your car looking more dirty than anything. If in the sun a lot the flat black actually start to look like a dark gray in other words it fades over a short amount of time.
Satin paint jobs are what you see alot of people do to their hot rods and bikes. Satin has a very small amount of clear on it which protects the paint and gives it a small amount of shine. Flat paint does not have any clear in it what-so-ever. In theory flat paints are also harder to clean since there is no clear. I use to work in the Paint Department at Home Depot. |

And it goes up as well if you're involved in an accident when you're NOT at fault. Now THAT's immoral. |

I think you're confusing "no fault" with "not at fault". In a "no fault" insurance, everyone assumes their equal share of the accident, which is payable by your provider (regardless of who blew the red light, etc.) When you're "not at fault", it is the other party who pays for all costs, including the deductible. Best not to spread false information to the un-wise around here. |

that sucks.
i didn't read it but what was her age? sounds like a story where I saw this lady drive her stupid cadillac reversing it right into a beautiful classic MG or triumph i think it was, luckily it's real metal hah and then drove off before I could cellphone pic her license. the guy came out later and i told him, he was so bummed. who was driving? a lady that could barely see straight who was near 85 something... I for one believe everyone should have to retake the driver skills&rules test every 10 or 15 years or something. people are stupid and should be allowed to drive |
