ok, im ready for the bashing

 

not gona bash u cuz u did that for your own reasons (perhaps boredom? lol)
but im glad its only for the winter

 

for some strange reason i kinda like it.

 

That's pretty funny...looOOoove the matte black man. ...I hope you're gonna leave it like that.

 

i'm diggin the paint job

 

umm yea...i like it

 

i like a little contrast in my life haha

i was gettin some interesting looks driving around after i did the paint on the hubcaps

 

i don't understand the theory behind taking wheels off for the winter... unless they cost $1500 +

i've gone through five winters with no problems to the finish of the wheels at all

me and my buddy painted it in his front yard actually. its farm and tractor paint matte black single stage. didnt have enough time before school to repaint her back to cypress green pearl so we did this as a temporary thing. just cuz it loooks better than wetsanded.

 

did you paint your car flat black your self???

 

yessuh

 

that came out real clean was it hard??? i'm thinking of doing it my self...also what color did you use, by can or gun???

 

its matte black farm and tractor paint. we sprayed it with a sata jet gun in my buddy's front yard. it looks ok from a distance, it doesnt look real good upclose, but its just temporary. if you;re goin to do flat black, make sure you put some sort of clear coat over it. water stains from every rain since we painted it stays on the paint, so it always looks a little dirty.

 

thanks for the info!

 

If you clear it then it will not be very flat black anymore.

 

you can clear it with a flattenin agent
