I was thinking of painting my fd flat black. I was just interested in peoples opinions, and if anyone has pics i would appriciate it

 

IMO it will kill the lines of the car. Do what you want though, it's your car. I would probably think twice before fcking w/a flat black FD lol.

 

if you do it, PLEASE do it right. like with real paint from a real shop or professional. i swear if someone rattlecans an FD i'll lynch them.

 

The car is getting some body work done and im afraid how the match with the monteigo blue will come out. I know my spelling is nasty. How about a satin black? maybe maybe not??

 

Flat black is butt ugly unless its really well done. Even then it looks like crap.

 

what about this color?

 

that almost looks like a 3d render.... problem with flat black is that it retains moisture

if the body work is done by a pro there should be no signs anything ever happened

 

That would be the color that i would probably go for.

 

^ satin black looks good.....

 

Ya i like that color and the rims. My friend has his balzer painted nearly that color and it looks mean...

youll have to get a ps'd picture to find an FD in flat black......im sure no one has it done to their car.

 

I like

 

chalk anyone?

 

Matching it will not be a problem. Any good body shop will do a blend panel next to the repair to ensure a match.

Dude I was driving home and was thinking about painting my fd satin black,how ironic someone was thinking the same thing the same week.I think it would give a new/diffrent look to a Rx7 but im not sure what to about rims.I dont care to much for bronze.I say do it and then post pics...I would love to see.

 

kinda reminds me of the batmobile...

 

^^^ true dat, i was playing mostwanted, here made a Lambo that looks very similar to the Bat Mobile, but i really like that Satin Black with Bronze rims, i like it alot, looks similar to the White with bronze or gold rims, i seem to really like those color combo's alot:P oh well lots of time to dream........


Prôdigy

 

i saw a rattlecanned black fd once. looked like ****. but if its done right it could be cool.

 

just do it right. automotive flat black with a flat clear. for the best outcome. if i was to do this i would get gold rims. but i just got a new paint job that will last for a little while.

 

pardon my ignorance, but is the skunk2 civic SI satin black or flat black???? what is the difference?


thanks, James

 

Flat is like primer. Satin has a little bit of shimmer in the light. The civic is satin.

 

thanks, thats what I wanted to know.

 

Have someone of you seen the dragon performance rx-7? I did see it in max power(i think) and that paint job looked ghetto.. You could see everything, every little bump or scratch.. Other than that, fine...

 

i think if flat black is done right it looks good
