My Flat Black Celica : Pics Inside Options

[Chanh55]

Painted my car over the weekend using cans, "flat black". Tell me what you guys think. All my friends think I'm psycho, one of my friends said it looks like a Batmobile now.

All body work done by myself, I had no experience in body work before so I think it was good experience for me. Check out the 96-99 clear turns. I'm probably going to wet sand the whole car this weekend there is some over saturation/ overspray in some areas.

Pics taken with my camera phone, car is a little ashy from the fires Cali's been having 30-40 miles away...:












You're looking at 96-99 clear turns custom molded on to a c-one style bumper.








(Shaved antenna hole, metal mesh and bondo )

how much bodywork did you do to your car? i know tha bodykit was probably primer or gel coat and you filled your antenea hole (which gives me chills knowing that you used wire mesh and bondo). and what did you scuff the car with? if you got some PPG DP90 epoxy primer it will give you a nice flat black color. although it is ore expensive than blitz black. even though it might seem like i am Criticizeing you but as soon as i saw the word "flat black celica" i turned into a little school girl! its a mean look and coomers is too very nice-both of ya

if my g/f would let me i would do mine all flat black...i think it would look pretty stealthy lookin with hyper black 17's

Bodywork: Fitted and installed the bodykit, custom fitted 96+ clear turns, relocated antenna on top of hatch, shaved antenna hole (I used bondo mesh designed for filling large holes...at least that's what the directions says), sanded and spray painted as you can see.

I'm going to get her painted professionally tonight, I'll post pics when she's done. This flat black is just catching too much dust, so it looks really bad.
