Fair play to you mate, I could never rattle can my whole car!

You do it likes it nothing!

RE: Flat black
 

....hmm... this is only my opinion...but i think gloss black would look much better... nice car though, love the eye brows, AND the fact its a hatch!

RE: Flat black
 

do you sand it right ? before you rattled it ? another tip if your gonna rattle do it in the garage where lil wind breezes wont waste your paint and youll get less zebra stripes i can do it pro for you but it would cost ya

i wish i would have seen this before you painted it. PPG makes a great epoxy primer that is flat black and lasts a really long time. its called DP90. i use it at work quite a bit and i have never seen it fade. i personally wouldnt want a flat black car but theres a good option to anyone that might

i would say you got a little too close, if you backed off a bit, you would have less spottage.

yea i sanded it right....took about 3 hours just to get everything....there wsasn't alotta wind that day but being inside woulda been smarter...the blotches are kinda gettin to me....all i gotta do it sand with finer grit to smoothen things out right???

They do make a "flat" clear coat... I just saw them paint a 85 Buick Century with it on "Pimp My Ride" LOL. That shows always good for a laugh... it should be on comedy central. They also put a 350 pound MTX subwoofer in it.... hahaha!!!

Meh, to each his own. I personally wouldn't paint a car that new, flat black, unless the paint was absolutely terrible. On my next project, I'll probably rattlecan it. I do like the idea of just buying a can of Krylon everytime i get a scratch. Oh well, my next car will be a piece of crap. A fast piece of crap, but still a piece of crap.

Red, Blue, Green, and even White---Drop a Line!!
