Default Opinion on painting my 96 accord 4dr Matte Black

I think the color would look so sick. I was watching the Rob and Big show on MTV and their chevy SUV is painted in Matte Black. What do you guys think. How hard would it be to accomplish that.

It would look sick if you did it the right way, base clear then flat clear...and it would last forever, how about a dark charcoal grey with a matte clear, that coud be sick too.

If you do it right, it can be washed like a regualr car...and it will last for years no problems

To do it right it is more expensive than a regular car. Simply because to do it right you have to base and clear the car, then re scuff it and then do the flat clear.

Well I got a friend who works at Colours. I get his discount on paint and freebies. I'm going to buy a couple of things in a week. Can anyone compile of list of must haves. I plan to strip the paint myself and just have my friend who works at a body shop paint it.
