Since the car is red, and the paint is kindof dull, I figure going with flat red would be fitting and kindof unique...i mean who paints their car flat red anyway?!



But still, flat black would look damn good too...



ahhhh, hence this poll.

semi gloss black? imo flat red is gonna look like you painted it with a spray can

this is true, but i like red...and spray can gloss red looks like ass.

Why would you want flat anything?!



Did you forget how much you loved the gloss of my engine bay?

Flat black, no doubt.



SCC Project Silvia. $50 flat black paint. Looks awesome.

Someone else interested in flat colors. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif Im gonna start on body work this week and im going to end up with flat gold. accents will be flat black. Momo rims etc. its gonna look badass

Momos on back the star will be flat black.

A guy i know has a 93 civic si with a H22 swap and he painted it flat black..looks so good...

do like the mini that one of the magazines did. simigloss metallic black. ohh I loved that paint.

I would go with black but I dont want to do the engine bay and all that. the bay and door jams are faded so they are flat already.

Flat colorshift dude.

lmao!

Heh, is that even possible? Perhaps without a clearcoat, but it would still probably be a little glossy.

Flat black...there are WAY, WAY too many red RX-7s.

flat pink, you pansy ass! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Then we can call him UniqueNA!

Pink would clash with the doo!

dont radar detectors have an incredibly hard time picking up flat black?

The flat black made for military vehicles, as well as the other earth tones they are painted, not someting you can get at an automotive paint suppplier or at the local parts house, radar has a hard time picking it up. Cops usually shoot radar @ your license plates, might look suspicious if it was painted flat black!

I could do semigloss flat black with a metallic in it...



itll cost $100 instead of $50 though, lol



That would definately be unique and badass!

The problem with spray can flat paint is that its porous and sooner or later, you're gonna have a rusted hulk. (seen a few primered hondas look like that)

The trick is to wet sand the paint of the car so that it keeps the protection of the stock paint, rather than taking it right down. And if you do take it down by accident, always hit it with some primer right away.



A dull coat over the flat black will take care of any moisture that the flat black paint will absorb.

zebra stripes!

Is there such thing as automotive flat black?
