:D I will update this thread as i go. as of now the car sits 90% prepped will be done tomorrow. I'm going rustoleum satin black and will be painting my super jdm mismatched wheels dark blue or black and the crap stock brakes will be gloss black. the ricer that owned the car just went ape ---- with a white spray can on all the suspension ---- when he had the car... ------- idiot...
and yea that turbo is awesome... can't wait to put it on my built motor :) 1300mi na and i'm pretty sure its broke in and ready for + manifold pressure


/edit: also know that i never use the word whip ever and i hate people who do; i just failed horribly at making a funny title for the thread

Don't use satin paint. It's more shiny and it will show up like you used a spray can. That's the great part about FLAT black is that if you do it well, it doesn't look like a spray can job.


Car= flat black
wheels= semi gloss black. ;)

HVLP Gun > rattle can;

2 parts satin paint 1 part acetone reducer (per the cans instructions) + hvlp gun = winner
and i want red or blue wheels; until i can get some slipstreams then i'll be super night rider black

seems like flat black is becoming the new age rice.

i'm pretty sure $25 paint jobs are function over form to a new level. I wouldn't call that rice.
all the ricers buy HAUS UF KULLERR paint and pay some non-english speaking person who's been painting since they were 8 $10k to paint their PHAT WHIP; thats rice.

cool; do that; and what method did you use to paint?

Re: Project De-rice: How to paint yo whip JDM flat black in 3 easy steps **PIX*
 

im rocking the flat blackness. I dont think its ricey at all and i think it's just what people do to clean up after the ricers.
