painter has experimented with 2 pac and acrylic
acrylic looks better as the 2 pac looks to matt, although a buff an polish may make it shiny day in and day our will make the matt look abit crap i think
gna go with acrylic satin black if i decide to do this, im waiting for a sunny day to look at how it looks in the sun as the petrol door looks good all wet and stuff har har!
everything looks good wet bahahaha
hmm so did u paint it matt back or satin black? or is there no diff?

im after this finish
thats satin black, ive looked at the 3 blacks i like at it comes too
satin black, matte black and SATIN BLACK PEARL < this is sex although gna cost me to much LOL
basically the difference between mat and satin is that mat is very dull, not shiny at all where satin is shiny but doesnt reflect!
heres satin black pearl

that s15 is satin black.
matte black will look like a chalkboard, itll look shit
you want satin black
would it be easy to clean/maintain satin black ?
yeah but you can't leave dirt on it for prolonged periods coz you won't be putting clear coat on it.. it'll start corroding quicker.Quote:

I ended up doing mine again, made it worse... the cheap enamel undercaot i did was a bastard of a thing, it turns into chalkboard/milky shit regardless. I sanded the whole thing back down and resprayed acrylic over it. tried to level it by sanding it back down then i hit the enamel undercoat on some parts.
over it now looks ****ed, should've left to what i had in the pics in the previous page :( just gonna get it done properly
yeh, although mine will be done via a spray gun not a can. If you were using a car, suggest that you go to a hip hop store which sell different type of can heads that graffiti artist use, buy the wide spread ones :D ive got a few which i use for home jobs on small stuff.
did the streaks look bad in the sun?
maybe add another coat and buff and polish it to get swirl marks instead of straight streaks LOL
fark black.
satin white ftw.
any more photos of satin white cars??
