so recently the girlfriends little sister backed into my car out of her drive way (genius move right there) anyways i got a nice check from her insurance and i got a neighbor who does excellent paint and body work... since we are cloes with the family hes willing to give me a deal

SOOOOOO... with some extra money coming out of my pocket with the addidtion of the insurance check id be able to paint my whole car. Right now it is OB... anyways because i love the look of a clean black car so much i was thinking of getting maybe a different type of black

This is where you guys come in. Any suggestions on a different type of black... and if you guys could post pics of another type of vehicle with that paint that would be great! thanks again

 

well if your gonna repaint the whole car black again i wouldnt use a japanese paint. Id go with a european paint. Anything from bmw or benz would do nice.

 

its funny you ask besause, and dont laugh but: i saw a new dodge caravan (or town & country) the other day and it was black but in the highlights you could see many color flecks like silver and red. i stared at a minivan for about two minutes soooo you know there had to be some interesting paint involved. Hand to God, while i'm looking at this kid carrier i couldnt help to think "how amazing would something like that look on the contours of a G-coupe." my .02 for what its worth.

 

yea I see mercedes' with that metallic black color and they shine so much more. makes me jealous

 

its funny you guys mention the mercedes paint ... my mom just bought a new 08 C300 and she got the upgraded metalic paint ... its looks great

 

I've seen black rides with a hint of metallic purple.

 

the black on the bentley continental gt is amazing

 

Not to rip off the one guy here with the dark gray paintjob, but I'd totally do the same thing. I can't recall his username but his car is kind of like a darker DG, it's absolutely beautiful. But pretty damn subtle most people that don't own a G35 would never know you had a custom paint job.

 

How much does something like that costs? And I assume not Maaco quality right?

 

i think you mean sundeviljay...and yes, his car is quite tasty

 

FLAT BLACK FTMFW!!!! Be the first to do it! We have all talked about it, but no one has manned up! It would be so sick!!!!

 

I second that its been talked about forever, but no ones ever done it. Be the first!

 

matte black paint jobs are are hard to do and pricey

 

I saw a matte black paint job on a lambo at HIN awhile back. It just doesnt look right. Kinda like something is missing. Cars are supposed to be shiny! just my .02

 

If you want a Black car with a HINT if purple, there is a Nissan paint with this. I dont know the exact color code, but if you want it, I can ask my friend what it is. His skyline is "black", or thats what I thought until I saw it in very bright sun, and then you can see a hint of purple specs in the paint.
