I agree. There should definitely be a category for flat and suede. You bet. The model car world, although more receptive these days, is still stuck on the Shiny-or-Nothing mentality.
Rat Rods have really helped break down this tall wall.
The other reason I think this is a good idea is that it does not allow both shiny and matte to compete in the same category. They are two different skills it seems to me, when it comes down to painting model cars . . .
Hey, Rob, this is a great discussion starter, thanks!
