Ugh. Looks good on a 2nd Gen only, IMHO. Whatever you like man. It's not about us, it's you who has to drive it.

That Rx-7 kid

Yea Ive only seen it done up nicely on a FC. idk about a FD though, I think itll make the car look like crap. unless your talkin satin black? that might actually come out ok

Buy a honda and flat black that, because who cares if you ruin one of those?

Flat black is cool if you love the same gender...

^Nothing wrong with a hot lesbian.... in a flat black ride

i actually went to go look at some paint today and its more of a satin black. hot roders use it. i love how mate colors look on old school cars so i think i will be going for it.

You officially fail.

I would personally never paint either of my RX7's flat black but this one actually looks decent in my opinion.

Gouki7

lol I had my fd flat black before but I ended up painting for fear of being burned at the stake by the members here lol. I think it looks cool to an extent

FDcoscos

lol yeah. i just dont like the vr im running with now. iv always disliked red cars. to many vr 7s out there too. but i do love my car and yes eventually i will get a nice three stage paint job for it. but for now im going flat black. like the way it looks. keep the burns coming there only motivating me more to go through with it lol

Thats the only way a FD should look with flat black paint...

Matt black can look good on a car as long as its sprayed nicely and kept clean like normal paint. If Im not mistaken there is a matt black Fd on here.

Hmmmm... I actually like that. Really different. I didn't like the one in your avatar, but that's pretty $$$. I hope it turns out to your liking. Must be growing on me or something.

Sprockett

I think that Matte colors look good when there are a number of body lines to give depth. I think it relies on the car's lines rather than the paint, which might be why the RE car looks better than the first one posted. The hood, front end, and fenders of the RE car makes a lot of angles, which helps a matte paint job pop. The first one posted is too rounded (read: stock FD) for the paint job to really work. A gloss paint job would allow light to play with the natural curves of the body...a matte job just masks curves but accentuates sharp lines and angles.

^Yeah, what he said too.

FDcoscos

thnks Archie's8. i hope it comes out the way i like it too lol.
