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?

 

i say go for it! it would look good! I painted a ducati 749 black with red pearl with a satin clearcoat. it looked tight! break the mold man!

 

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.

 

What rx7 do you have?

 

I have a 93 FD Touring

 

Love the flat blue!!!

 

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.

 

awesome. It should turn out looking amazing.

 

What color is that ?

 

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

BASF baby

 

go with the flat blue, i think it looks awesome. i have never seen a car in person painted like that. maybe a kobalt blue?

 

that looks amazing. next car i paint is going to be a satin finnish

 

what paint is that? i am also looking for paint in a flat metallic color.

saw this paint in a hot rod forum called hot rod flatz. has anyone used it before?
