      It shouldn't, to be able to see the imperfection the paint would have to be shinny.. This is why so many "Rat Rod" Guys paint thier cars Flat Black.. IMO I dont like the Blue Engine Bay. but that is me, not you.. I will tell you one thing, if you leave the outside Satin Black and the engine bay like that. People will Sh@t Bricks when you open the hood.. :D

      Go with your gut!!! If you think that the blue might look good with the flat black then it will to you. That is all that matters. Your the one that has to live with it.

      As for me.... I think it would look bitchin!!!!
