Was thinking of giving an old U12 Pintara TR-X a matt finish, with matching black rims and tinted glass and lights..

Going for a whole sleeper look..

Ferrari looks hawt in any color, can't really say the same for the Pintara.

i like it bar the wheels.

satin black is pretty good also. my friend was telling me how his gf knew someone who had their IS200 done in matt black in brunai. looked crazy but always got greasy finger prints all over it. ha. if you really want a sleeper look leave it looking stock as a rock.

matt black finish is ugly as......looks like a backyard job badly......only thing id do matt finish is engine bay.....

[Krishy]

i would go jet black not sure about matt black finishing.......if u want a sleeper look have different coloured doors lol

lol y start the same thread you started on nissansilvia?

Matt black cars honeslty look terrible, it doesnt look "tough" at all

[GTAAAH]

I don't mind them if they're done right.. I've seen a few old 8's in matt black that look tuff and a r32 gtst in matt (with 500 odd kw) that looked decent. would love a mk1 golf gti in matt, lowered with some 17" Y spokes.. mmmm

Good luck cleaning a matt black car is all I can say.

[Oblivion]

you could do better....but it doesnt look that bad....would look better with fluro yellow.

I like it, incidentally my favourite artist is picasso

I was thinking about painting my 32 matt black, and some detail in gloss black, it needed a respray anyhow - but the decision was made for me when it got stolen, foolish car.

I saw a matt-black car when I was win QLD, it looked pretty cool in the flesh.

Have some pictures somewhere, see what I can find.

not a fan of the orange though, looks to missy elliott

sorry for the quality.

[jake33]

jeeze! that 300 has soo much dish you could seek shelter in there if it was raining

[Rekin]

mattblack on r32's look nice

[Goon]

Matt cars look like they had a coat of black primer but no one bothered to finish the job. Matt makes you look like a wannabe tuffy, and does nothing to promote a "sleeper" look. If you want sleeper, go for stock appearance

[big_d]

matt paint is definitely not for the sleeper look.

it does make a car more unique tho... bit of a change from all the candys, harquelins etc..

deriq.

lol how tough does that 300 look tho ^^^^^

is the matt balck finish any more expensive/cheaper than a general re-spray?

guys... don't really like matt-black... looks too rough and not slick enough.

I love the after-market jet-black metallic paint. damn hot.

Assume it'd be cheaper, no need for that wet sanding and the final doesn't need to be smooth.
