Unless the prep work is done really really well, dont bother!
Nice, yeah ive done my cf bonnet already. Turned out really well. Just getting the thought of spraying the whole car
what sort of honda u sprayin
it looks good but u gotta be careful at the diy carwash places.. cos yeah sometimes the high pressure hose is really strong and it flakes off the paint.. even after prepping properly just a heads up!
i dont know. It looks good on drift pigs and older model cars im not too sure on a dc2
Srzly i think high gloss clear coat would look better on a dc2...
And that CTR in the above posted pic doesnt look like its matte finish..i think that s2000 looks lyk rubbish ... just my IMO... such a fine car it originally was...But yeh.. just my 2c
Car wash places shouldnt be a problem. Just wash it in my garage at home lolz with minimal use of water. Yeah ive sprayed my rims matt black already. Planning on spraying the whole car this weekend with a mate. i reckon it would look tuff as, thats the reason why
actually, what i think you want is satin black, not matte black.
matte black looks like the car is in primer
satin black is what you are after for a proper look

damn that looks so tuff. As i am doing a DIY job, will i be able to get satin black at like autobarn or repco? Or should i go to those paint places and get the paint mixed up.
Hope you're not going to use cans for the whole car.
looks like chalkboard :S
one of my bes mate's brother is a car sprayer, he owns not only an evo running on 23 psi, but he just sprayed my mates r32 mat balck, which is unreal. sits there in liten up car parks with no reflection what so ever lol, love it!
^
why did you had to include the evo running on 23psi in that sentence? made no sence.
anyways if you're gonna spray your dc2 matt black, let me join in.
i wanna see how this turns out.
yeah i wanted to say something lol.. random.Quote:

I've always wanted to have my car satin black like that s15! I wonder how much it would cost to get it done professionally...
the dc2 aint going to look good... in satin black :(
sattin black ftw.....my opinion
man
that s15 wide body kit ><
too good
yeh satin black ftw!!
matt is too primer'd lookin'
show us how it turns out of u do it!
If you want to do it properly and make it look good, then it will cost alot. The body has to be perfectly straight and you have to do a good job spraying otherwise it is very easy to make it look bad.Quote:

Sweet, sure am using spray cans lolz. Like i said ive done my bonnet it turned out great so far.. Will doign doing the rest of the body this week. The only doubt i have is the paint flaking off? Is there like an uncoat that i should use to prevent this from happenign
if you still had your stocko paint that is very much sufficient assuming you roughened it up some with maybe 800 grit sandpaper before spraying over it.... if that was the case i would have done 2 coats only and 1200/1400/1600 grit sanded the final product for a nice clean look :thumbsup:Quote:

make sure you leave it out in the sun often for at least a week, it's no alternative but it makes up for the "cooking time" that is done in spray booths...
hes got balls to sand his car down and spray with cans lol!!! good luck
yep.. to do it straight up too :pQuote:

But once you use a can you have to use the whole thing coz when paint starts drying at the tip, next time you spray it, it blotches and it's a pain in the arse to remove and sand down later.
1 can of the 400ml satin black from supercheap can easily do 2 coats of a bonnet... if he pulls it off well then the whole car will cost him less than $100.
Must perfect finishing with the sanding though.
matte black is dead. matte. totally solid finish. looks like arse.
looks like a chalkboard.
looks like primer.
its ugly.
satin black has a very tiny amount more "shinyness"
its not much, but it makes the difference between looking like a unfinished car, and a proper paint job.
I think it looks Faptastic!Quote:

In reality the affect goes by what sought of paint you used and how much prepping you did
Good luck with it mate and lets see it come out bad ass :angel: :thumbsup:
that CRX is satin, not matte :)
and the other two photos are shocking photoshops lol
Actually guy said he did it in matte but ill be happy to double check :)Quote:

sooo.. is anyone going to actually try this?
i did my valve cover and it looks sweet :p
i may actually get me a spare panel and practice, may do it on my bonnet... gotta find a week with a streak of hot sunny non windy days though...
Keep us updated..perhaps u can post pics as u go along.. =D
i did quite a bit of research into this paint a while back cos i wanted to do my eg in flat black.... now there is all different types...
there is BSAF brand which is owned by glasurit which is the best flat paint money can buy, that what the amg merc was painted in and i believe the s15, it also comes in different colours like matt blues, yellows, oranges etc... brows honda tech you will see... this paint i dont know if you can get it here...
the other option is the spray can job of using john deere blitz black this has got a sheen to it and is not flat and will chalk up as time goes by, most people use this
then there is ppg gloss plack with the flattening agent clear put in it to dull the paint this would be the best bet to go with here in aus i think unless you can find basf.
the evo and wrx i believe pictured were painted with a spray can and was a project for sport car shop in the states
i read spraying flat was actually pretty easy just cant really let it dry out then continue on
also no waxing of the car! just shampoo and dry!
damn I really want 2 see the outcome to your car.
best of luck.
why cant u wax matt coloured cars?
does it scratch a sh1t load easier comparing to black cars?
On the way to work today, i saw a satin black merc van looked so nice, perfect paint job. Will be starting mine this weekend for sure, if i stuff it up. Ill get it professionally done, insurance job of course
Will post photos once ive started, if someone can tell me how to post photos lolz
just to let you guys know that supercheap has got a sale on the "Australian Export ENAMEL" spray cans @ 5x250mg for $10... DO NOT get these.... as it doesn't actually say enamel on it till you read the back... you have to get the ACRYLIC stuff which comes in a green 400mg can @ $14... the enamel shit goes cloudy after some time...
anyways minus the acrylic paint, i have 5 cans i can use as bottom coat and 4 sheets of sand paper (1x800, 1x1500, 2x2000) all costing well under $20...
will do a back panel this weekend....
just to let you guys know the acryllic is fine for automotive and you don't need fancy stuff... this is how it looked on my wheels with 1 undercoat of etch primer and 2 coats of satin black.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2-09-07_18.jpg
this one is with the paint drying but the front most one on the bottom left is dry...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...08-07_19-1.jpg
Wow that looks great!

Yeah let's see some pics! You from MELB dslt?
yuppsss sth east =) ill put some photos up tomoolozz. will be starting on the front bumper this weekend then moving doing bit by bit from thens
my next paint job is gon be satin black for sure.
show us pics yo
i wanted to spray my grille with acrylic and this is what the supercheap guy said to me:
"acrylic are not for cars, u need to buy touch up paint"
WTF!!! touch up paint is expensive, those acryllic bottles are like 3 bucks. So I guess the acryllic cans are ok to spray car wheels? do u need a coat after u spray the wheels with acryllic?
aa coat of what? Clear?
u need to put clear on
yah clear. kool.
saw an 86 with all matt/satin black paint the other day and it looks shithouse lol
i reckon unless u get a pro painter to do it'll come out shit
doesnt matte paint after a few years just becomes chalky and dry finish then ends up flaking.
So where's the pics!
Weather has been really shit lately. the melbournians will probably be able to clarify that. Might get a move on this weekend though
Fingers crossed!!
hey dude my cars gettinmg painted soon too, im going for satin black instead of matt black though! eager on some pics when u finished!
post some pics of it when its done please!Quote:

DO NOT USE ANY LESS THAN 300GRIT TO ROUGHEN UP YOUR FACTORY PAINT!!!! It's a pain in the arse to level the smallest scratch which you'll notice after your first coat.
Pics below of my efforts today (2mp phone camera):
First Enamel Coat
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6/DSC03502.jpg
First Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6/DSC03503.jpg
Second Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6/DSC03504.jpg
Third Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6/DSC03505.jpg
Fourth Acryllic Coat - Unpolished... 24hr drying time.
- As you can see theres streaks from me going up and down with the can... alo of effort in polishing will have to be done to remove this...
- It can be avoided if you do your Top coat under the following conditions which it wasn't really today:
- Not Windy
- Not Overly cold
- DO NOT do this in the sun, it will dry too quickly giving the streak effect when you start overlapping
- ALWAYS shake your can for at least another 30secs between 1-2 streaks

- 1x400mg can of "Septone Acryllic Satin Black) @ $14 for x1 from Supercheap to do 2 top coats and still have half the can left.
- 300 grit sandpaper, 800 grit sandpaper, 1500 grit sandpaper, 2000 grit sandpaper
- Polyglaze cut and polish.
Will take hi-res pics tomorrow when finished as tomorrow will be:
- Remove minor rough spots (like dirt, spray can blotches, etc) with 800 grit
- 1500 then 2000 grit run through
- Then cut and polish....
nice...and YEH for the rear
yeh man
great work
def do the rear
complete the s3xiness, lol
sooo.. is the "JDM look" an acquired taste?
I asked colleages at work as well as the mrs and her friends and siblings and they all said a big NO to the rear???
Post updated with hi-res pics of the top coat btw...
dont ask women about cars lol..
and dsit where abouts you live i wanna see it in person =]
