Hit the nail on the head.

Its called Satin Black.

 

That looks sick with everything shaven and no mirrors. Flat black suits it well.

 

You could either use flat black with some clearcoat OR go with the satin black with clearcoat if needed.

Satin is a little more glossy than the flat but you may need to either wetsand or clearcoat it to get the appropriate shine to it.

 

what is the paint code for that tho and who makes it? PPG? Dupli? Dupont?

 

its probably a special mix, PPG paint I would assume. there wouldnt really be a code for a custom color, at least not available to the public. Just use Satin Black

 

Are you looking to use a paint gun or rattle can?

Rattle can you should be able to find a satin black in most if not all car parts stores and hardware stores.

If you are looking to spray it using a paint gun I would talk a car painting shop and ask them to mix you a satin black; shouldn't be too hard.

 

I know PPG has it because thats what color i was going to paint a crx i had, but i sold it.

 

ill go to a local paint place tomorrow and see what they got

 

It is a semi-gloss clearcoat. Pain-in-the-***-job.

 

ill be using a real gun.. isnt the clear mixed in with the paint?

 

??????

 

nah man the clear is shot on after the paint is laid down.....the type of paint job used on the rsx is a black color with a satin finish....I did this on my friends car a while back on the roof and trunk....something we did to hide the oxidation till real paint job could be applied....there is no color code for it....just go to your local auto paint store and tell them you want a Satin finish black color when it is shot it will look just like that....it is a single stage paint so no clear should be applied to it....hope this helps ya
