DC2 spraying it matt black!!

[dsp26]

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 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

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

fark black.

satin white ftw.

any more photos of satin white cars??

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.

satin only looks good silky smooth, otherwsie its just "dodgy black or white paint job with no clear coat"

[XP02ED]

curious, any1 done this yet in aus?

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

[JasonGilholme]

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.
