Matt black looks good when done properly not out of a rattle can.

[GriffGirl]

That pic looks more like "satin" black than full-on matte black. Looks sharp as hell though, I like!

[808celica]

was gonna do that and have everyone just full on tag my car with whatevers. sort of a grafitti theme, but i just went shiny black first i would make my exterior complete then to the matte/satin/whatever black

[playr158]

Chanh55 had his like that for a little while before it was painted......but he's since cleaned out his photobucket and I can't find pics
edit: i found pics




6gc + C-one front/404 sides & rear/ 2 post + GT4 blocks on some nice 17s or 18s dropped + satin black paint = t3h sex

i like that.. has no one else done it?

i think very very lightly smoking the lights just to dull them down a bit will look awesome too.. and matte silver wheels.. or better still powder coated!


basically im thinking of doing this coz my car had the front of it pulled off it today in a parking lot (i was sitting in the car at the time!!).. im really having no luck with this car so im gonna do something with it that can be repaired easy!

That satin looks good. How hard is it to spray that stuff (with a paint gun)? How much would it be to get it professionally done? I don't think spraying with rattle cans would look as good.

[willirl]

its the exact same as spraying a normal colour, and shouldnt cost any more coz the only difference is that a matting agent is added to the paint and laquer..


i should add too that on my previous 200sx, i had a matte black cockpit/roof... i did it first with a gun and matting agent, but the finish wasnt "dirty" enough.. so i re-did it with rattle cans and it came out sweet.. ill see if i can find pics..


theres also a pic of a rat style s13 knocking about too..

chahn55's was done w/a rattle can? i wonder how bad that would really be..

[willirl]

/\ if he did, looks like he got a wicked finish, it looks class

[Fastbird]

Katie and I were actually thinking of going Satin black if we ever repainted our Celi. I think it would be INCREDIBLE if done right. There's some pics of a C5 Vette over in europe that was done in Satin black that was AMAZING.

[Skinerp89]

I've seen matte black on a ST before, it was a picture on craigslist but its not there anymore, it looks really good =)

[willirl]

ive come across a new idea

URBAN CAMO WRAP!!!!


did a quick photoshop..
[/QUOTE]



ill do the rest when i get home from work

[Sinyk]

Every time I see a matte car, regardless of how it was done, I think it looks rattle canned. I just don't like the matte look at all.

[playr158]

ill do the rest when i get home from work

please do not bother

[tomazws]

I think it's the way the dude fixes up the car...


Look at that nissan, it will prolly look good in ANY color LOL

[RickJamesBish]

please do not bother

X2, for once.

[manphibian]

lol, i saw this VX220 a while back. It actually looked totally awesome!



(would never want it on my car though)

[RickJamesBish]

How bout no on the camo. Seriously.

[Promasta]

wow i can't believe you guys like that matte look
the s15 looks nice because its a damn nice car
why would you pay a shop to paint your car when it looks like it was rattle-canned?

[hockeyplyr24]

im gonna try to do matte black come summer time..i think its sick

[willirl]

whoa the camo did not go down well.. was not expecting that!

its well liked over here in the uk and ireland.. oh well

[Fastbird]

WHAT is that car that the OP posted?? That thing is effing slick.

[MaskedMan]

WHAT is that car that the OP posted?? That thing is effing slick.

It's a s15 Nissan Silvia. If that is what you were asking.

[willirl]

/\ yep its an s15.. had an s13 before the celica, great car

photoshopped the camo again but went for a different softer kind of pattern..again only a rough take..


need to re-arrange the black.. but its 2am, im just home from a 7hour shift and i want my bed.. but this idea just refuses to go away


if anyones interested, this is my inspiration:



but mostly this

HAHA D1NZ.
its a pretty mad rx7.

Im a hunter and Im not to big fan on camo on a car.

My mate is going to get one of his utes (B2000) camed with mossy oak. (personally im more an advantage MAX4 kinda guy)

mossy oak


Advantage MAX4

I wonder what that would be like on a celica hahaha

[GotToyota]

I agree with the others who say that it always looks rattle canned. Anyone have a picture of one done by a paint shop?

[xs94st]

It doesn't look like its been rattle cann'd..there are a bunch of show cars with insane matte finishes and they look awesome..including that first pic by the OP.







I dunno, I've seen a Lambo with a matte finish in person and it is damn gorgeous. I guess you also have to see it in person to realize its a nice change.

[manphibian]

It only works on modern, luxury cars IMO.

On our cars it would just look like primer.

[RickJamesBish]

I just had the sickest idea...an R8 in flatte black. Matte black rims, body, and side blade.



Such a nasty car

[Kwanza26]

Matte black does not equal rattle can primer/flat black. Matte paint jobs are typically done with a LOT of wetsanding...
