I'm thinking of going flat black and doing a navy submarine type design on the front, or a warplane like thing. It would be hilarious. Anything is better than Maaco.

primer black isnt water tight. it'll absorb moisture and create rust. make sure your flat black paint is quite resistant against water. clear coat it or use a different type of paint.

I agree about the primer, it WILL rust, unless you use a good primer sealer, and if you're going to do that you've got a compressor and a gun and you should just spray it right anyways. I have my civic primered black and it looks great but it is really starting to rust. I'm going to have to strip the primer, re-primer then spray it with flat black. No clearcoat, that would make it look really funky, especially rattlecan clearcoat.

You have to really do it smooth, because the slotches are very visible and look like **** if you just randomly spray. You have to have technique.

my crx is flat black and I think it looks pretty good. Only thing is some people see it as a sign that it is ok to slam their doors into my car. People today, you have a fixed up car and they damage it. Spend the money only on the inside(engine etc) and they think they can dent and ding it up.

There's a girl (lady, rather) here in Christiansburg with an ED3 like mine that is painted camo. She used to come in my store all the time. I'll try to snap a pic and post it too.
