Any flat or satin blue cars?
 
I want to repaint my RX7 as the car has some scratches here and there and I'm adding a full bodykit with quite a bit of CF parts so I want some contrast. The car is currently black and the traditional thing to do would be gunmetal.

But the idea I got is paint it a flat or satin finish dark blue. Something like this.

Does anybody have a picture of a car or something bigger in that color?

paint question...
 
I have not seen anyone do this color but there are some flat black cars out there.
I think it would look awesome to do a suede blue (old school hot rodders do this look all the time) I say go for it and make a statement it's time we something creative and unique in the community!

I was actually thinking about going flat red with mine but that blue does look pretty good.

Ok guys I decided I will do it. And I finally found a car that has the paint I want.

Thats how I will get the car painted perhabs a little bit darker.

The car will feature a Sanai Front Bumper, Feed Front Fender, Feed Carbon Skirts, Sanai Carbon Diffusor and a "little" bit of fenderpulling on the rear. This all together with gold BBS LM 18" wheels and a silver/black alcantara interior.

Love the flat blue...my buddy did a flat black to his WRX with Red wheels and it looked very nice.

make sure to post up some photos when you get it done, please. I am considering the same blue, or a nice satin metallic black.

Car will be here mid of the month normally they had to remove quite some rust and the custom metall widebody takes its time.

Not sure on the colour, but the clearcoat is DC series with HF09 flattening agent.
