Ok so finally this weekend i got around to painting my car flat black with spray paint. Overall i think it turned out pretty good, i still have to sand it down a little and put another coat on to get it totally even but i think it looks pretty bad ***. I also installed my bonez race pipe and CS cat back. That set up is ******* loud and i can definetly feel the extra hp up top. I'm not feeling too muh down low because i wired my 5th and 6th ports open because they were stuck and weren't working at all. but anyways here's the pics let me know what you guys think.

i think having the tint makes it look alot better, especially at night

hahaha... all that red in the engine bay... looks pretty wicked from the outside though... just sand it down nice, and start clear-coating.

why the rattle can flat black job?

litlred515

because i don't have enough for a real paint job, i figured this would be easier to do than a shinny color, and it looks really hot at night.

so.. your planning on leaving it this way?

litlred515

For a while yea. Once i graduate get my real job and can relaly pour some $$$$ into it then i'll get a new paint job, but for now it's the broke college kid's paint job

i would be SOOO afraid!! came out decent...i wouldn't wanna drive a flat black car that didn't absolutely RIP but we an always toss a crazy TII in your ride hehe couple of blotchy spots I saw...an easy fix though...get out some rattle can clear and test in a couple of areas.

Sport Compact Car sure has some influence. Now you just need some Bronze Volks and giant Brembo Calipers w/cross drilled rotors to be project silvia's Mazda twin.

i'm really not too worried about not haveing enough power for around where i live, most kids have saturns or a focus or cavaliers or sunfires. alot of domestic rice. and i've only seen a few other 7's in the area and none of them are anything special. plus even if i can't win in a drag race against a kid, i'm willing to bet i would beat most around a turn. I have illuminas and prokits on my car.

black 16 X 8's w/ meaty 225/50s would look very evil hehe

litlred515

yea i know i would love to put osmething like that on my car but I have no money, maybe by the end of summer though.

what do you guys think of my painting my rims black too? or would that be overkill? I would go with a glossy black for the rims i think but it's just a thought.

I say leave the rims alone until you can get some bronze ones. I wouldnt bother with clear coat either, just get a few more coats of black on there. Personally I would have used a darker black.

litlred515

well if i went with a glossy paint i would be darker but a flat black paint looks more like a really dark grey with all the flats i've seen. but it came out the exact color i was going for. just need to do a little touch up
