Unless you plan on making it some "high performance vehicle that never had the time for a good coat of paint", flat colors for the exterior are a no-no; at least in my book.
Unless you have flat and gloss mixed? In which case gloss black will be very nice.

What about a glossy white for the primary color??? I've seen some at dealerships, but I think red would be better.
I just got done painting the block/tranny as well as the cyl heads and intake manifold. Wish my digi cam was charged up.

The reason why theres so much fuss around the forums about paint, about the plethora of wax and polish products, and about orange peel and other problems is probably because cars are supposed to be glossy... I think.

Not depending on model year, Lightnings can be:
White, black, silver, dark blue, red, electric blue, dark silver.

XspudX, paint the car any color that suits you, after all it is YOUR model and it is YOU building it, so do as you please, if you want to paint it flat black go ahead, if you think it'll look good do it.
