Canadianplat855 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have been thinking about flat black for my 850. Has it been done? The car needs a paint job, so either stock (white) or flat black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyWriter Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have been thinking about flat black for my 850. Has it been done? The car needs a paint job, so either stock (white) or flat black.the whole car; flat black? well, use some Sears Puerto Rican Chrome spray paint for the wheels and it'll look mint. maybe they don't sell it anymore, air shocks and side pipes went out of style in the 80's. but a big skull and cross bones on the hood would turn some heads.

TheCapn Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I think there is an issue with the matte finish holding up over time. You could paint it gloss and have it wrapped by a vehicle wrap installer with mattepressure sensitive laminate, but it would cost some big bucks.

Che'_Moderator Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 There are a few urethane paints out there now that hold up "ok". Cost is about on par with any other paint. 250-300 a gallon. 1.5 gallons should do the car no sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Che'_Moderator Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 hot sex The above looks like Alsa paint. Its an additive that is sprayed on before you clear a car. It runs about 300 dollars for enough for one car. RE matt paint with clear over it, it will look exactly like normal high gloss paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
