Hey just wondering on what people thought on matt black cars? Was considering spraying my whole car matt black?
Anyone got any photos of a matt black Honda they wish to share?

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

**rayb3na_** · 09-06-2008 09:02 PM

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.
