Its gotta be professionally done. When its even and clean, it looks good. When its rattlecanned, its retarded. Also depends on the car.

Rep Power: 0 Here is primer on a 7thgen. Too plain with a simple bodykit. The skunk2 car looks hot and my CRX looks clean. But I dont know about this 7thgen. Nice 04 bumper. But needs gloss paint or flat black.

Rep Power: 0 The CRX is primered w/ light coat of flat black over it. The sun was bright and made the paint look lighter than what it was. At the last show it looked darker than what it does in the pics.

Rep Power: 0 As said above I think it looks clean when professionally done not spray can, even though you want that flat black look you still need a clear coat so you can actually wash it. I was thinking of getting it on my eg hatch but then found out I need to re do some stuff on my turbo setup 
. If it's a beater rattle can it, it i'll look decent but for a show car I think it's gonna have to be professionaly done.
