Thread: Flat colors...will they go "out of style" or are they pretty much here to stay?

I have a chopped, twice Z'ed, slammed, tilted rear glass and B pillars, 496" full roller BBC in a '40 Chevy sedan and I'm almost ready to paint it. I want to keep the car leaning toward a 50's/60's quasi-old school look and I'm thinking of a clear coated dark plum satin "primer" finish with painted or chrome steelie wheels. I'm also going to have the hood louvered and some old school pinstriping done and retro-looking 8 stack Englese EFI installed. But I want a paint style that won't become obsolete or out of style in a couple years. Is the flat color craze just a fad, like the graphics of the 80's and 90's? Or, has it become a classic paint scheme that will likely be here to stay? Thank you.
