That's only about 75 miles between you guys, and no easy way - almost 2 hrs.

I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm criticizing, by why would anyone want a flat paint job? Nothing makes a car look any cheaper than having no shine.

Everyone haves their own opinions...Not every individual share the same interest as the next...Some people like to be flashy and others may not like being under the radar...I am a fan of flat paints...So with that being said thanks for your criticism..
