Does it wash similar to other paints? Or do you have to take special care or it always?

Either way it looks pretty dull, but in sexy way.

Default meh

good work on doing something different, but IMO, 0% gloss black, or true flat black looks like its just cheap primer ...

i like snow trooper's because his is a true satin finish ... with like a 30% gloss or something ... looks perfect

That's true however too glossy looks more plastic

look at this RS4

It looks like you had your car redone but could only afford to get it primed.

The satin cars doo like better, but it is not my taste. I also thing the satin looks best on some newer cars. It would not at all look right on the B5s lines. But for instance a Galardo or Murcilago have the rght lines for it and it would look bad ***, like a stealth fighter. On the B5 its an epic fail, especialy with zero gloss.

Smaller pics, swap the badge to the other side, and paint the shiny chrome around the windows, and that's how I'd have a flat black S4 if I were to do it. You're happy though, so it's a success. I like the super flat, too much satin looks cheaper/plasticy like you say, IMO.
