That 599 in flat black looks like a batmobile

The first pictures i saw of trojans car looked flat black for a second. I was almost hoping it was... it would have looked amazing and added that little bit more. Not that it doesnt already look amazing
I like the look of flat black!
Why would it be hard to care for? (sorry, just a silly "popcorn-like" question)
If you think regular black shows everything, flat black shows everything and magnifies it and then is hard to clean because the surface grabs everything.
Now, a proper flat with a good flat clear coat can be easier to maintain but it still shows a lot of things like the slightest finger prints and road oils and everything.
I've thought about doing a flat finish before but everyone I've talked to who's done them says they wouldn't do them again except for a strictly trailer queen show car.
