I've heard the same is said for dress shoes... I like the look and have always wondered why every new car is shiney.

shiny cars are distracting as they reflect light. not to mention the latest and greatest batmobile was flat black.

this is interesting as i am considering painting my 18" wheels black because since i bought my rover and have been off roading it the last 16months the wheels are beat to hell and scuffed and scratched and gouged. in some places down to yellow alloy. so i was thinking of painting them semi gloss black or flat black with a clear over it.
