I know it's not an LJ but my torrie has been flat black for nearly two years now and I drive it pretty much every day, rain hail or shine. I live on a dirt road so it's generally always got mud and/or dirt on it and it washes fine. It hasn't even gone chalky or faded at all. Best black ever : )

It's all 2 pac underneath, but the black itself is just etch pro single pac etch primer. It's lasted really well and only cost $40 : )

I can tell you they are not low maintenance , but every time you take them out , you will enjoy it , we had two years of satin , two years ago and still miss it .

it has the old school metal flake in it !!! either that or paint it in its original livery which is Boroda silver with moroccan red trim but thats 10k later it is an original GTR so im thinking for now $50 tim of subframe satin black might look tuff
