I'm looking for a flat or satin red for my truck. I know there is the red oxide, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a basic medium fire engine red, but flat. I see there is "red primer" which looks like what I want, but can't find any clear pictures of it. If you have pictures of that color or maybe another color that is close to what I want, could you post them up for me. It would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

anyone?

 

The painting process consists of two stages, sometimes three. Not including primer or sealing. You have your base coat, which is the color, than the clear coat. They have a flat or satin clear that is used on "matte" colored cars. You should be able to use whatever red you want, than use a "flat" clear coat...

 

Plastidip.

 

They don't have a flat clear coat, but I think I found the color I want it's called flat red primer (not red oxide) so should work out good.




Plastidip for a truck would be at least 3-5 gallons, at $60 per gallon I'm looking at $180-$300. I would rather get some real paint for about the same price. The rustoleum was less than $50.
