Oh and if anyone wants to clean my garage ive got a crisp $20 bill for you :X

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Thats what I was going to say. Probably cheaper and a lot cleaner to just buy a gun and some cheap paint.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

No your avatar is beautiful. The jeep looks better flat black though.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Thats just sexy right there. I mean damn.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

What are you using to protect your flat or satin paint? Did you spray a satin clearcoat over that?

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Nothing I painted a buddys car last year and it still looks the same.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

looks good!!!!

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black

Take off the Grand Cherokee emblem with fishing line, hair dryer, goo gone, and elbow grease. :6

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Straight Mineral Spirts work wonders as does a 2000 grit sandpaper or a red pad for the body guys. ....or is it the black pad?

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

After seeing the jeep, and hatch I definately think I will eventually paint a car I own flat black they look good but not like too attention grabbing. But I would spray a clear coat on that at least one coat of clear. Over time the sun will make it fade, and rain and stuff will scrath right through to the red. At the very least wax it for some protection.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

That flat black BMW is sex.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

the slr is my favorite

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

ALL those pictures looked chopped! :6

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Yes water will scratch it, the H20 compound is very abrasive. You should protect it with wax designed for gloss finished cars it, will look like a monkey attacked your car with a stick of butter but at least the 50 dollar paint job will be protected.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

u cannot b serios

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

The man doesn't ---- around when monkeys with sticks of butter are involved.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

< $1.50 / can?
Lot's of streaks. With another coat and better tips, it would actually look decent.

But from the looks of it, the red paint was much worse off.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

---- looks good.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

.98c a can at lowes, plus tape and paper. Everything all said and done was around $23 bucks. The hood is a little streaky, but other than that it's pretty decent the rest of the way around

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Did you thin it down? If so, what ratio?

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

I'd be worried of spraying that satin and not having a satin clear and it getting all fucked up and faded in a couple years. At least with a Rustoleum gloss black you can buff the ---- out of it if it fades or scratches.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Yeah you have to thin it down a lot or it sprays like ---- out of the gun. IDK the ratio i just did the "thats about right ratio" :8

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

sorry that was a typo what I meant to say was rain will wash away paint and over time, and stuff will scratch it and yes wax will protect the paint because its something covering the paint. If he cared what it looked like he wouldn't pay $50 to paint it in spray paint. But protecting it a little better will keep him from having to paint up scratches every other week. think about it dumb ----.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

flat black primer.
Attachment 18243
i love primer... white, gray, black, primer kicks ass

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

Primer soaks up water, oil, and everything else though.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

yeah see all the ---- on that truck.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

POR15 i believe it is, is much better than just regular primer. works a little better.

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

por 15 rocks but it doesn't get along with sunlight unless you use the topcoat stuff

Re: For the lovers of all things flat black
 

You can use Dupont base black paint and a mixture of 2:1 dulling agent in the clear to get the same effects but with a actual UV protected clear coat. THATS WHAT I DID and no fading at all.
