well im painting my car flat black because its super cheap to do it. my question is what paint did yall use? did yall use flatener in the clear coat? and if yall could, post pics of yalls paint job too. thanx for all that apply! please no flamers. this topic does not pertain to flamers.

 

yall this, yall that......what's up wit that...........

 

its a southern thang . i guess you would say" you all". ohh well

 

most people use rustoleum flat/satin black thinned with acetone/paint thinner.

i used Krylon Semi-Flat spray paint (didn't come out THAT bad).

search flat black, it's been said a few thousand times.

 

satin black is what im thinking of using. its kinda looks flat enough w/o paint thinner, right?

 

hummss

 

I used Rustoleum satin - 15% acetone

 

does that stuff have like a clearcoat in with it?
and does it scratch easily . plus can ya wash it easily?

 

bump

 

ill tell you right now, you cannot wash a spray painted car. it'll start coming off after a few washes.

gotta wait for spugen or even speedinghatch to jump in here to comment about washing a car painted with rustoleum and acetone/thinner.

 

I wash mine with a hose, I done kno about power washes I think it would leave etches in the paint. Just make sure to wash it in a darker area or else water will just dry up and leave spots, I dry mine with an absorber.

 

but doesnt satin black come with a clear in it? i think thats like the cheap stuff MAACO uses.
right?

 

boing!

 

did u just say fat black peeps?

 

i didnt say nothing. i typed it.

No, he said flat black peeps. Nice try with the funny though

 

best thing to do is use an enam. paint here. you got 3 shade options
1 flat black looks like a chalk board
2 semi flat what you want looks like that del sol
3 gloss well we all know thats shine

with an enam. paint it wont wash off like spray can. basically its a 1 stage system. like a base clear is 2 stage kandies and pearls are 3 stages you have the base a tint coat then clear. with an enam. your clear/protectant what ever you want to call it is in the paint. when you buff it paint comes off but no different then when you wet sand and buff a 2 or 3 stage paint job. in short enam is our best bet here a semi flat black enam. mix it up and spray it get better coverage and longer life then rattle can. enam is what system most older vehicle had on them back in the day.

 

stalker! heh
