you will be the 3rd person I seen to do flat black... looks good , but hard to keep "clean" w/o looking like primer

Do satin black instead. otherwise it looks chalky, while satin has a nice sheen to it without looking like primer

I agree with jbaker on this one, I think satin black would look better than just flat black.
But if your set on flat black, power to you!

You may be able to have it wrapped for the same $$$$. Resale value is bad enough without the respray. Food for thought.

+1 from what i heard flat black is a bitch to maintain. Do what all to exotic guys does, vinyl wrap it. Doesn't hurt your resale and you can al ways change your mind, maybe graffiti it up and not feel bad.

yes. true "matte" black is chalky while satin has a nice sheen to it. alot fo times wha tpeople say/think is flat black is actually satin black

DO IT! Satin Black and wrap it instead of paint!

yep. about the same as paint but helps resale (by protecting the paint) instead of hurting it

no we were talkin about flat black during the wed meet we had at hooters. they told me that vinyl wrap is more feasible. i was thinking about it if i got bored.lol

i may have some money coming in for mods by the summer, im just trying to scope out what mods i want done posssibly.
