any flat black s4s? post pix
 

yea im really curious and iv heard of simple spray painting the whole car flat black with days worth of coats but yea any pix?

makes the car fugly. i did it. turned out super crappy.

my tII is flat black b/c i was tired of it being differrent colors i think it looks good in my opinion srry no pix

it is kinda difficult to make it look good if you are just going to use a spray baum (spray can)

go to advanced and buy a professional style top feed sprayer. go to an automotive paint store and get the paint you need. sand down the car and do any dent repair you can and then prime the vehicle with a good quality primer. then just spray away.

its really not as simple as i just explaind, there are a few steps i left out cause i dont wanna write a book. go to a barns and noble and check out some literature on painting automobiles.

i have seen a flat/ satin black finish on a fc and it looks cool with the rite wheel combo.

id like to see one in hot rod style, flat black with the really cool hand painted red and white pinstripes, and some red steel wheels with chrome centercaps and fat ass whitewalls.

do what ya wanna do man, post pics, im sure it will look awsome!

good luck

hmm great car, what front lip are you running?

See the sport in my sig.

thanks it the stock j spec s5 lip put onto a s4 front bumper with the grill stuff cut out...

oh cool, i'll keep that in mind for my next s4 that im hoping to pick up soon . . .

This might be spray painted, I can't remember which thread I got it from...

I like it and i don't, but here's a freind's car who makes the argument more convincing

I could have done my car in flat black blackhawk paint for free, problem is it just looks like crap and is hard to keep clean. If your only doing it to be different then do it, it would make the prep work a lil easier too but be prepared for your car to look like ass

mine is an s4 its only half primered though
heres a pic

ive primered alot of my cars. its all in how long you take sanding it down before you paint, it can come out really nice or like ass. jus ttake your time and it will lood good

thats pretty bad ass but you should only be running the left headlight yellow. what front bumper is that?

Gah! It may just be me but I think the paint on the FCs in this thread look ugly. The one halfway decent looking one looks exactly like a car with good primer. 'Course, I have seen a lot worse. It depends how your car looks currently. Why not post a pic of what you have so you can get better tips. If your paint is a little faded in some areas, I'd say no. If it looks like my first FC... hmm, the (original factory, faded) paint was pretty horrific on that car but I'm still not sure.

If it were me I'd leave it alone, whatever you have. Primer any bare metal to stop rust. A good paint job is too expensive, or else too expensive and time consuming if you do it yourself. OTOH, it's easier once you have experience and the right equipment. I went down that road before and I can say paint and body work costs too much money and time to be worth it. I'm gonna upgrade my car before I get around to fixing my scratches and dings and what not. For now, once I have time, I have everything to clay bar and wax it to keep the existing paint protected.

flat black ftw

Flat black=cool

primer=the loose!!!!

I too, will be going this route. Probably will add some clear coat designs as well.

why the hell would you only want one headlight yellow? ^from the first page.

they both look yellow to me

Ah mate if you put clear over something with a matt finish, its not going to be matt anymore.

yeah itll turn to gloss

I've got a flat-black s4 with an s5 body-conversion. Someone already posted a pic of it on the 1st page. I used Krylon Semi-flat spray-paint and just used my "krylon king" technique to get the look right. ;)

I lost the full size of my avatar picture, but you get the general idea.

my buddies want me to baum can it white and put the rising sun on the roof...

I dont mind the rising sun (not on the roof though) but not a baum can white job AKK!

cause when you are on a mountain at night and see a car coming up the road, you can identify if its one of your crew or someone else. and its got to be the left just cause i say

yeah, too bad not everyone drives their car on the touge every day...

Errr fuck that. You really can't tell your friends' cars from other normal cars by looking at their headlights at night?

thats stupid as hell, why use a lower quality light for such a stupid reason?

where did you get this bumper?

haha you guys rock. i love it, its unique. my bike came stock with the right headlight yellow. i guess thats retarded too. and you can tell your friends cars apart from regular cars 5+ miles away?

heres my s4 T2
needs a rear diffuser & front bumper though.

:score:

thats the point. if you mask off a design over the flat black and spray clear over it only the design will be glossy.

Flat black looks okay, I'd prefer satin black or semi-gloss black. I actually like the black/grey camo jobs I've seen on drift cars.

flat black looks great
and they do have matte clear coats ya know


if it wasnt for my car being hte best looking of the s4's (white s4 t2) and me liking paint. hehehe

S4 FTW!!! panda t2 :)

flat black looks better then peeling or faded paint and way better then multi colors. as long as you mask stuff off.

heres my little weed wacker

Its dave colemans(sp) probably the cleanest flatblack car you will see.

Here's mine, yeah it's pretty beat up. Not bad for a DD though!

your rims are on backwards.

Damn, now that I look at it, yeah! This is a first.

I like the front bumper! What kit is that? And from what site would i buy it from?

i like the backwards look better.

that bumper is the knock off of the GP Sport. i got it off ebay.
its fuxord up now. im going s5 w/ a lip. had to many problems going places and scraping the kit, and my car wasnt even lowered.

mine is panda with a flat black hood and a rising sun painted on the hood. lol it looks cool but the cops know the car way too well
