nicenice. Never really understood the difference between satin and matte. My friends w/shop is bringing in the new matte clear, which was designed for the new lambo colour range. Was thinking of using this, but still kinda undecided

satin is about halfway between matte and gloss...still no reflection but a much "smoother" more refined look...matte is more rough and backyard looking

Hey bud, i think you should go for it, given i am somewhat biased, its a great look whether you go satin or matte, which ever way you go not everyone will like it but no doubt you're modding the car to suit you and not everyone else.

I like the non-gloss look; it's akin to the 'rat-rod' look that is popular in he US at prsent. the rat-rod look gets away from the flashy,chromey approach; by using 'flat' paints etc; the peformance aspects of modding remain...pretty cool I reckon.

here you go.. im sure there are other photos of this floating around the net, i first saw flicks of it a couple years ago

satin black looks a heap better than just flat black too -- usually satin looks like it was done properly, and flat black just looks like you did it with $2 tins of spray paint even if done correctly..

Id agree with that..

Thing is, i'm betting many people won't dig it.. and although most of the time you don't modify a car with regards to resale value i think painting it flat/satin black will have a big impact on resale (ability not just price!)

Yeah I don't care. I won't sell mine anyway.

I'm in the middle of a proper PPG jet black/ deltron lamborghini and mercedes approved matte clear respray, and I think it looks great. Lots of people told me I was an idiot, but even the painter, who was against it originally, says it's growing on him each time he sees it.

I would love to add pics as part of a build-up thread on here, but I'm fairly computer illiterate and don't know how to re-size the 5mb+ pics my DSLR takes. Anyone?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
