You wont like the final product. It loos great when its done, but with no clear coat and no protection on it it fades and gets very faded very quickly. Trust me, youll at least want a layer of clear on there but then it wont be flat black anymore.

Yeah I like primered cars and all and flat black looks sweet, but I would only paint my car flat black w/ the intention on getting it painted soon after. Plus, flat black dosen't really look all that flat anymore after you clear it. I say primer it black only if you can get it re-painted within a couple months.

ehhh, i wouldnt paint it flat black man, i looked at a car that was flat back and it looked like $hit. The guy had only painted it 2 months before he was trying to sell it too. The dust gets in that flat black and doesnt ever come out.
