DC2 spraying it matt black!!

[XP02ED]

ooo ill have a look at some auto paint stores.

ah thanks zdster, my cars actually painted satin black now and DANG it looks awesome.. although few touchups within some areas needs to be fixed.

had a word to the painter and he asked if i wanted to clear it for protection, but worries its gna make it look like gloss black. if you know what i mean? he wasn't to sure if there is a clear which is like anti gloss kinda thing!

[JasonGilholme]

i've read that you can mix flattening agents into clear coat mixes to stop the gloss effect to (if he's mixin the paint himself he might be able to try this)

try it on a different panel first tho.

post pics too man!!!!!!!!!!

ah sweet! good idea, ill get him to try it on my petrol door! hahahah!

i see what you mean, and see how it can work.

What someone else is suggested is to just clear it, then buff and polish it after to take abit of the clear out!

yeh i'll post pics this weekend! the front bar is off atm as its getting redone as there was a scratch ( normal paint woulda covered it ) but the matte/satin look made it show!

all i gta say is DAMN, any1 who does this be prepared to prep the surface REALLY REALLY good!

Just sprayed my car satin black with a compressor and gun, turned out pretty nice, it's drying atm. There's a a little bit of orange peel though.
Does anyone know if it will be ok to wet sand it with 1200 or 2000 then buff it out?
Should I use a compound polish or something?
