Yes it is a paint you can have done. We decided to also matte finish the tail lights and side marker lights to keep the theme going. It's not cheat since the entire car has to be re-painted including all of the door jams/trunk/ and under the hood.

It's also a pain to keep clean but.......IT'S WORTH IT!!!

SIC! you could also vinyl wrap the car matte black, so your OEM paint stays fresh underneath. I also like the two matte black Suburbans in the new Transformers movie.

A guy here in town, went to the dealership, bought a rally yellow, took it to a paint shop and they did EVERYTHING to that car. Took out the engine, seats, sills, carpet the works. Painted it flat black, along with flat black wheels. New cams, springs, and exhaust. All for around $10k. And that's that they had to paint the car twice cuz the first time around, there were some inconsistencies in the paint. It looked really evil. Before I get asked, it wad the only car on the lot with the options he wanted. A 2SS/RS with other goodies. Lucky guy.

I didn't know wrap was that expensive.

Flate/matte black is a sick color though.
