first of for the flamers ive searched and most of the post are flat black.

now im interested in flat paint jobs ive seen a few army green and one nice silver rsx but im looking for some lighter colors like tan or gold. im prolly going to be painting my car within a few months. most likely ill be going with flat gold withflat black bay and jams. any pics would rock TIA

 

I've never seen anything other than green/black, i'm curious how this looks.

 

It's a hawt trend in the hot rod scene. Some of the chopped coupes that come out in my area come out in flat red (VERY HOT), flat/satin blue, satin midnight (purplish color), and have even seen a flat yellow base coat with a flat clear that had salmon pearlescent flake.

 

yeah the guy im gonna have paint my car is into hotrods so he shouldnt have a problem ive just not seen the color im looking for

 

bump

 

bump for pics of any color but black

 

i'm interested in this too, knew about the flat black thing with hotrod guys (saw this awesome car that was flat black with two-stage satin/gloss black flames).

But I wanna see other colors

BUMP!

 

you won't find alot of hondas in a flat paint job, but it would defently look coool. For a paint job like that, they use a clear coat that makes it look flat. I was going to paint my car flat light green. It looked cool on the one hatch that I saw it on, however, after thinking about it, for all the work, it wasn't worth it to me. Instead (and currently in the process) I am going to paint my car white (it was flat black). At autozone and other parts stores, they sell duplicolor paint system that is actually sprayable with a gun. Pick up a can of the paint and there is all the steps you need to take and what to buy. Yesterday, I sanded like crazy, today I cleaned then masked, and from 8-10, I put the first coat of filler primer on.

 

my car is currently flat black... needs a respray real bad tho. (spray painted over a year ago).

i was considering a khaki/tan flat color or flat brown...
i was never real sure about olive drab/flat green tho...

-you can spray paint (use fat caps, it'll come out without the 'tiger stripes')
-use a spray gun and get rustoleum and thin it with acetone/mineral spirits.
-spray a base coat and then clear coat with a flattening agent.

good luck and post pics after it's completed.
i can get you pics of flat paint jobs on hotrods/muscle cars... i'd have to host them tho...

 

non-metallic paint look's thick

 

Iam also thinking about doing a flat tan color or maybe even flat red. As for the spray cans I could never find the fat tips. Also for some reason when painting rustoleum with acetone and a paint gun my car came out with a light texture for some reason. If It would come out smooth that would be great! If anyone would please share some tips with me Id appreciate it!

i've seen a flat grey; its pretty close to the primer color. looks alright.

 

Dave, isnt there a paint shop somewhere over by gtm or something? Go there I bet they will have chips of a color like that. Let's do mine too.

Does this mean I don't have to paint the side skirts?

damn the germans, they waste the paint extremely quick. i would rather use the new york fat caps. smoother tip. imo.

 

My dawg sir2kingeg6's ride...

 

that car would look damn good with those dents rolled out and some black moldings. very clean pic as well. nice shot.
