Im not trying to tell you not to do it, but why would you want to re-spray a very nice color into a color that looks unfinished? If it was black vinyl wrap I wouldnt say much since its removable. If thats your style go for it, just not my cup of tea. Also what kind of suggestions are you looking for? On tips of how to paint it? or if you should paint it?

I would go with a wrap as well that way it is still reversible. If you decide to ever sell it, it would be much easier to sell with the original paint then a flat black paint job. But if that is what you want to do then hope you enjoy the paint job.

Wtf is with people and Matte black these days? Your car better be modified hardcore to actually be able to take such color. Matte black on stock S looks dumb to me.

i agree with everyone else here.... matte black is a terrible color choice for a relatively stock car.... and especialy on something as nice as an s2000

my opinion is that unless you spend a lot of money to have the job done right your car will look like shit.

flat black was a fad that ended a few years ago. go ahead and ruin your resale if you want.
