Matte Black Respray?

[SS8_Gohan]

hey y'all

well i'm heading for a respray soon. Was just going to go with Nissan metallic black again, maybe with a little fiddling here and there, blue pearl or something... but i saw a Matte black car (some old school car) driving in the city quite a few months back, just wondering what y'all think about a matte black respray? and better yet, does anyone have any pics??

i thought it looked pretty hot, not sure if it's really expensive or cheaper tho, than metallic. Or if it's harder/easier to do...

or maybe desert cammo respray still reckon that would be cool

laterz,

I reckon matt black looks like shit. I personally love cars that shine.

No matter how professionally/perfect the matt black spray is, I still reckon it looks like it was painted with a $2 supercheap autocan.

but that's just my opinion.

agreed, go gloss all the way man, matte is cheap and nasty

[SS8_Gohan]

is it cheap and nasty? or is it expensive and takes a while to do?

i did see it on an old school car, i thought it looked tough... but yeah, wasn't 100% sold on seeing it on something like a Skyline

guess i would either need to see one in real life or some pics. It seemed like a pretty out there idea... something a little different i guess

Say hello to fingerprints though...

there was a guy on here from sweden or norway... maybe UK?? with a matt black R32 GTSt

looked hot but too much to maintain IMHO

Didn't James want to paint one of his Lada's matt black - GROUP BUY!!!

Matt black is as bad as brown fence paint! Seen Both! It is bland, boring and looks cheap. No matter how much you wash it, it never looks clean. Unless you want something more of a sleeper or shitbox look with stacks of power under the hood I would suggest against it!

Go with your gloss black with Dark blue or purple pearl!

Thats my opinion anyway!

i personally think matt or satin black would look very midnight racer and extremly cool, but yeah the finger prints and ever having to wash it would be the biggest pain.

there was an r33 in nsw done the same, but was repainted in gloss due to prints.

[SS8_Gohan]

hmmm... seems very 50/50, either hate it or love it ....

if ppl have any more pics, i'd love to see them... i might have to do a bit of a photoshop job possibly... maybe even Maya...

does anyone know if this is more expensive than a metallic respray??

I totally agree with this I saw that matt black 32 on here as well and didnt like it at all. But if you like it get it.

I'm thinkin, Matt Black, Black Wheels, super low, one red pin strip down each side, and red-wall tyres.

do it!

the trouble with fingerprints cannot be worse than the trouble black gloss has with showing dirt, can it??? mines black and it drives me crazy

Matt black looks hot old school rebuilt hot rods.

It was the in thing for hot rods and lowriders last year, as my season 1 of MTV rides indicated

i remember that matt black 32, think it had a rb25 in it. anyways, matt black like many others have said looks distasteful and sh!t which i agree. on the bright side, if someone touches your car without your permission at least you'll know. btw are we talking matt black from a spray can or 2pack matt black (is that even possible)??

[nismo_au]

Here's some...

Should give you an idea of what it might look like up close.

[Nozila]

speechless. that would be a great chalk board i guess.
