okay - always been a fan of hotrods painted flat black , something about them just screams mean - well im replacing my front bumper, fenders and hood and gonna need paintjob in spring-

so... looking to paint the entire car now - so im debating going with a matte black but not just a primer. A real matte black paint so it will hold up - whats ur take-

heres some examples







so whats your opinion? or anyone have any pics of 4th gens painted flat?

aight- in researching looks like best bet would be to use dupont hot rod black paint

 

bodywork must be perfect every little thing will show



lets see someone do a photoshop and then i will vote

 

I like the idea, but unless it's on something like the Ferraris above it'll just look like you couldn't afford a real paint job. If I wanted to paint mine to look like it was all business, I'd go with a gunmetal grey type of color, but still glossy and maybe some gunmetal or silver wheels.

 

I dont like flat black, it just looks like you cant afford the clear. Ide agree with breakmyfootoff, paint it gunmetal if you like that sort of look.

 

A definite nayyyy..

 

Try black with a flat black racing stripe???

 

person who ownes that first Ferrari should be shot

 

ha okay - so far nobody is into it - its funny cause other board im on everyone is all about it-

just want to clarify it wouldnt look like it doesnt have a clear- The paint is a matte and there is a matte clear that goes over it- it wouldnt fade or chaulk.
guess ill hold off on this idea for a while- think it through a bit more

thanks for your opinions

 

where do you get the matte clear maybe another color would look cool flat

 

Looks like crap more for something like a Rat rod

 

I'd go for it, I've seen a few cars with that paint and I kinda like it.

It's like having a primered car; says that you spent the money in the motor, not the paint.

 

I think there's a reason that none of those were domestics. It works on Civics (no I don't mean ricers) and stuff like that, but on a 4th gen fbody it just doesn't work at all. Rat rods, or imports.

 

ha- actually thats my next project- looking into building a true rat rod- however a true rat rod u dont even paint- u leave everything the color u get it looking like

 

Some older Mustangs had a flat black hood and trunk cover. The idea being that it would cut down glare on the driver. I think that would be OK. Or as someone else said perhaps a wide flat black middle stripe. But a whole car that is flat black just looks wrong. Like a car that is just primered.

 

I think it looks alright. When I painted mine I put down black sealer first and it looked cool. I think it would wear on you though.
