OK, so I am buying a straight bodies 92 CX hatch that was once a beautiful red but has oxidized into a fantastic "Honda Pink". I am intending to repaint this bitch, but want to do it a flat/satin black. Is there a paint out there to do this with that is NOT just primer? Like, is there a tractor paint or something that is a satin/flat black that wont look like ******* after it is applied? Any Insight would be appreciated.

 

my friend painted his bumper with this like Krylon paint made for BBQ Grills or something and it came out like satin/non glossy black.

 

No, pretty much no matter what you paint it with you are going to get that absolutely shitty effect. That is, unless you go with like a professional satin paint job.

 

Look up John Deere Blitz Black.Alot of hot rodders use and so do alot of Aircooled VW people.It gives you a satin efeect,plus it has "teflon properties" so nothing sticks to it.only downside is you can never paint directly over it because of that teflon effect.

You need to look into some paint companies to see if they make a flat black. If you're painting your car with a flat black, w/o a clear coat, you need to use a paint with UV protectant in it (which clear coat contains). Without the UV protectant your paint will be **** within a year or so. May want to try custom paint companies like http://www.houseofkolor.com/hok/index.jsp. I can't get on and look for you cause I'm at work and it's a blocked site. Maybe even check with a local jobber that deals DuPont Paint products, or PPG products. Please don't just use an aresol can to paint your car, I see so many of these and they look just utterly horrid.

 

there is this chemical you mix with the clear coat that kills the shin. i forgot the name of it but it out there.

 

You should just check out some local shops in your area and see what kind of paint they carry and get their advice on satin black. Hell, estimates are free... just get a ballpark figure of what most places will paint your car for. Its flat black so even a shitty maaco or earl shieb couldn't expletive it u that bad.

 

You may look into Harley Davidsom Paint cause they make in the 2007 HD StreetBOB bike that my stepmom has is a glossy black and a flat black no clear looking paint and it looks good. Has to you know for a $20 grand bike. Check that out it may help. Good Luck

 

What about the 50.00 paint thread using rustoleum. Those come out pretty nice.

rustoleum satin black. dont know how long itll last compared to what others have mentioned though

 

I know for sure there is a flat black out there that's for professional use (not in an aresol can), and drktorn may be right, there could be some sort of UV additive that you can mix into the base coat black. Checking with a local everyday bodyshop may not help, I would seek out a custom shop, they most likely deal with it more often. And don't ever take your car to Maaco or any kind of **** hole like that. If you get it done professionally it'll probably cost you a good $2k-$3k to get an over-all on your car (done right, R&I Trim, handles, moldings, lamps, refinish jambs, etc...) but if you have the equipment to do it and a place to do it, it would be a fun side project.

 

This is a horrible comparrison but the look I am ultimately going for is the look that Skunk2 has on their cars. It look slike a satin, but again it could be a flat black or hell it could een be a black with a clearcoat that is hazy. expletive I dont know.

Skunk2 doesn't paint their cars with Krylon. Call some local paint shops instead of wasting our time with your inane little questions. We have an appearance/cosmetic forum for this kind of drivel anyway.

Flat black is played out as **** and look likes butt on almost everything

I'm with you on it looking like butt, black is hard to keep clean and IMO I think flat black always looks dirty as hell...not a fan of it.

 

Essentially thats the point of the thing, I want it to looks dirty and nasty but the bitch is going to have a 500hp heart.

 

lookin like *** and have hp doesnt equal sleeper just equals bad paint and laughter

I agree, just lay down a nice BC/CC paint job on it, nothing flashy, go with a factory color. It'll still be a sleeper. And if you absolutely want it to look like complete crap on the outside with a "500HP heart" then use flat black spray paint, who cares if it lasts.

Hey, at least it will be easy to touch up then.

"all your cars are good for are parking"

 

also rember that essentially a ricer is that of one who knows nothing of pistoons, nitrous, turbo's, ecu's and only focus's on looks, if your car is stock and worry about paint, wheels, wakaba badges, tint, cleanleness of interior, a/c, o/s, and call yourself a honda tuner get out
