I finally painted my car satin black. This is the finished look.

 

Looks good...Details? This isn't spray-canned was it?

 

no not spray canned. I believe its satin black with 2 clear coats. If I can remember I don't know much about painting a car though. All I told him was I wanted it satin black. thanks

 

what kind of clear? because I know it's hard to keep the satin look with any clear coat because of the gloss associated with the clear..

 

I can't really remember. From what my girlfriend told me she remembered him saying non glossy protectant clear coat. All I remember is I saw he got it from napa and it said acrylic on the container.

 

looks good, if i was in your position i would have just wrapped the car in a vinyl wrap for fear that the flat colors are just a fad and will wear tired on you in the future, but overall your car your choice and the job looks steller

 

thanks man. I believe the vinyl option would cost more than what I've paid for the paint job.

 

niiice

 

Paint looks good.

IMO satin black cars must be SLAMMED in order to look awsome. Otherwise they just look like primered cars in need of a paint job.

 

Man that looks awesome! I want to get my Fc satin black but it seems no one know satin from flat on my side of town.

 

The car is still a work in progress. Just showing you guys one of the stages. wheels and suspension coming up next.

 

Gotta go low and aggressive with the fitment

 

I was thinking either the work xd9 18x10 all around or some ccw classics drop with some tein flexes

 

I wasn't being a critic as I could tell it was a work in progress. I was actually giving a heads up on what makes it killer. IMO of course

 

No I'm not offended man. What you said was the plan for the car for the time being. Now that I got an decent looking car its time to work on the engine.

 

For example:



IMO this one is would be totally siiick if he removed the wing and im not too sure about the green rims:

 

Props on going with a satin black paint job. If I had 2 FDs, I would definitely paint one this color. Your car will look ridiculous lowered with a gloss black set of wheels and a black/red interior for some contrast.

 

for right now it will have a plateless 99 spec front and the stock wheels. Still saving up money for the build and then comes the feed kit but don't know what wheels yet

 

This is what I am doing on my Fc, black interior with satin black exterior and gloss black MB weapons. Keep the pictures coming please.

 

show me an fc in satin black

 

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA...BATMAN!!! Seriously though, it looks really good! I like satin on cars, just gives it a little different variation then always being bright and glossy.

 

sorry but im with the to each his own.... the car looks like an old crust bucket like that.
then again most people that know me know i highly dislike flat black.

congrats on the work though its nice to see someone didnt do it fresh from a rattlecan.

 

Thats actually the color i want to paint my 88 vert, about how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking.

 

Love the color, but I feel a more aggressive FD can pull it off better opposed to a stock one. Just my .02.

 

+1 on the Works.
