Matte Black Respray?

[Daniel_]

Not sure if it would suit a gtt but I can imagine a 34gtr with the same paint as the 32s above, sexy.

Or just get a c-west kit then do the satin paint

[SirSkyline]

If you get a matt paint job don't expect for it to last to long especially black.And its really hard to paint without getting lines through it

[zaffa]

say no more..pure tuffness...

[dezz]

it looks like primer

[scathing]

I was thinking that if I could afford to go all out on my car, I'd respray it in matte black. It'd give the car that "prototype" look, like you see in all the mags and stuff.

After that, I'd just need to get my car on the Nurburgring

[NZM.031]

just do it, dont be a wuss. it would look fat as, aslong as the car is quick with a tough looking kit, and then get some black vinyl stickers made up and put all over the car. so the only part that is glossy is your shopping list down the doors... get a big g/f gt wing, and a c/f bonnet, and some bronze volks, pure racing style....would look awesome. i wouldnt want to race anything that has gone to that much trouble to make it not stand out....

the r32 looks unreal, but the 180 looks like primer, it needs bigger rims and bolt on flares.

SS HOW ?

lol

If its good enough for ferrari then its good enough for me!

[Bass Junky]

Are you sure that's not raw Carbon Fibre finish?

[KIL.08S]

Looks like matte block to me, look at the finger prints all over it lol.

[someonestolecc]

I don't believe this topic is still alive.. I reckon it's your car do it how you want it...

I wouldn't do it cos I think it belongs on drift pig 180's and other cars that only need to look good from far.

why are the wing mirrors and A pillar gloss? :lol:

[rukus]

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

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

those pics of that matte black r32 look fkn hot

but im sure it'll only look good in fotos where u cant see the smudginess of it ..

[rukus]

Hi guys,

Dunno if you guys are still interested in matt/satin paint anymore but i've just come across these pics.

The skyline in the last 2 pics, i know for sure are satin finishes. Pretty sweet i reckon.

Cheers.

omg those 2 gtst's look SO HOT!

[Tosh]

IMHO

Matte Black should be saved for circuit/drift cars. Also it only really suits certain chapes. The R34/R33??? NO WAY, R32/180SX??? HELL YES!!!

The R32 with the Work Emotions and the QLD 180SX look very tough in Matte.

I'd never have a road car in Matte Black but I would certinaly have a circuit ONLY car in Matte Black.

Go Gloss for the road.

[D-limo]

Maybe if it's dropped on its nuts with some nice dishies or a decent kit.... But matt black really is a colour suited for oldschool/drifters I reckhoon.

[floody]

I say go for it - however.....Your car will have to be gunbarrel straight or it will look ghetto. It will actually need to be done by someone pretty good on the gun to look smooth. And definitely satin, not matte.

Satin with carbon fibre details would look very stealth...

If I ever get to build a track HR31, it will definitely be satin black.

[Konrad]

Imagine how f**king hard it'd be to scrub off bugs and shit off matt/satin finish!! Its hard enough in gloss.

On the plus side you might stealth your way thru radars an speed cameras (although mythbusters tried that and it didn't work).

[shmiddy]

if ya do paint ya 34 in matt black maybe you could try get it in the latest mad max video if they ever make one, get mel gibson in it hurting ppl, rice max
