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

streaks were unnoticable in the sun, its when its out of the sun and you see angled light reflections that you see it.

since your using a gun, feel like letting us know who'll be mixing your paint and what head you use...

got a compressor at home, should've used it to begin with

tried searching it.. don't bother, search results you'll get are all wedding gowns, etc lol

I searched matte white and it came up with similiar results. I guess people confuse satin/matte alot.

I think the white would be a bit easier to spray as any highlights aren't going to be as noticeable. (ie white highlights on white paint vs white highlights on black paint)

less contrast in the highlights so the waves shouldn't be too noticeable.

theres some cool shots there.

yeah i know what you mean. when i get back to QLD i might give it a go on my boot lid. i need to fill in the wholes from the wing anyway so i might as well give it a shot.

matte white body with flat black rota's! :D:D

ah the head i was referring to was for spray cans! uno the white head on spray cans, you can buy different types, this might help!

i cant go with white, need black!

ill try get a camera too for what i do! and ye when it aint sunny and u see the reflection u can see a dody job to a good one with satin/matte black

im looking for a sprayer to do mine ......

Havent back out just yet, gonna get Promax in clayton to spray my car in 3 weeks time =) will post photos when done

how much u gettin it done for ?

curious, any1 done this yet in aus?

wondering if clear coating will be needed too, although i think it will make it glossy looking?

there are clear coats out there that don't have a gloss finish. Theres matte/satin clear coats that you could use as a top "protectant' sort of layer.

I saw a 180 at DT Panels a couple of weeks ago with a matt black finish. I am sure they can do it for you.
