Calling all flat black fd's
 

im thinking of going flat black from montego blue please post pics if you have them thanks.

I think it only looks ok if done right. I have seen way to many botch jobs that looked disgusting. Someone on here has a flat black gtr that looked pretty mean.

I think the Flat black GTR that was posted here was actually a full vinyl rap and not painted....

L8R

This is the only one on the forum that I know of

Yeah, The flat black GTR was vinyl wrapped, I believe it is 7racer's car

Doesn't look right in my opinion. The doors and fenders don't match.

thanks guys that gtr was nuts. i think i am going to go flat black still ify u do have to get it right if not it looks like crap. any more pics out there?

don't do flat black its nasty, go with the satin black

What's the difference with Satin and flat black?

Satin is in between flat and gloss paint.

bad:

good:

Nice wheels are also very important, a nice satin paintjob with stock wheels doesn't look that cool at all, it looks more like the car just has primer on it.
The trick to a good flatblack look is to get the car painted black with regular automotive paint and then give that a satin clearcoat instead of the regular gloss/glass paint.

man satin is the way i want to go i want to to sani front bumper, feed side skirts and volk ce28n glossy black with the red lip.

no offense u dont own a 91 honda civic, u own a seven, big difference. to me flat back is lazy cause it just hides all of imperfections, thats my 2 cents.

very true i think looks tacky but to each his own

flat black in my opinion is just cheap looking and tacky...^

not too bad

I think the flat black is overused... check out flat pearl white, i think its a mercedes color but it looks really good

One of the members from Kuwait has a flat black FD. It was even for sale recently:

I say go for it, but it will look better in a satin finish on a kitted/widebodied car with some black rims.

i know i dont have a 91 civic im just tired of mb its a hard color to work with. satin is porb the way i want to go.

thanks for all the pics.

The flat black picture up there is not paint, that is just primer....

Damn, didn't realize these Matte or Flat paint jobs could go soooo wrong LoL. Some of the one's pictures (Mercedes aside) look like crap. Does anyone know how well this finish holds up to road conditions? I wouldn't think very well, but I'd like to confirm.
