Id like 2 get u guys opinion. I got into a lil accident and needed 2 replace my fender, scuffed up my bumper and cracked my front lip. I replaced the fender wit another IP but the color is way off. I also had sum1 try n spray jus my molding above my window n thats off 2. So seein as i have 2 spray the whole driver side and into the passengerside fender 4 the bumper i was thinkin of painting my whole car. I was thinkin and IP again but was also thinkin of matte blacking the whole car. I have my roof and roof spoiler done now and i like it. Wut u guys think? I think it would look crazy stealth! Wut kinda $$$ u think im lookin at? N yes i want it done right!!!

 

ive seen a G sedan on here done up in matte black.. it looked good but IMHO, i think the flat black shuld be reserved for either the more exotic cars or something line an old civic.


I would re-do an IP with BMW's alpine White.

 

I would just change it up to the stock black color so that if you ever need replacement parts, black is easy to repaint and a lot of people have it.

 

matte/flat black car with white engine bay = epic fale

 

flat black does look sick on a G.
but to do it right door jams and everything else your looking at 5-8K.

Flat Black is sexy

 

I heard from somewhere that the flat black can be done with the use of a different clear.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be an easy scuff and spray type deal?

Where's Corey... he should know this stuff.

 

you going to have to change allot more then just a color of the car to pull it off.


so unless you got deep pockets (and it sound like you don't) I would not even think about it.

 

yea i think i would get sick of it pretty fast.. was also thinkin of the lexus is250's tungsten pearl.. ne1 know the quality of that paint cause ours sux!!!! and i dont know y but i love bmw m3 phoenix yellow! i think that would b a lil 2 much though.

 

i have been thinking about doing it semi gloss black or semi gloss white... a Maaco here in Portland Maine did a friends 04 mustang Flat black and its been 3years and still looks good. It is done by either a single stage with a flatening agent($339) or by doing base clear with a flat clear ($899) Either way i would do the $339 as it looks the same as the other. I will be doing mine once my new front bumper comes in. BUT YOU BETTER HAVE SOME MODS TO PULL IT OFF!!! It will look bad on stock setup. My plan is to do semi white with gold headlight (already done) 3000k hid and gold rims(already done). And slammed(already done).

 

I've seen a G sedan completely matted...looked sick, have to do the wheels though...it looks good if you like matte. I hate matte but I'd have to say that matte G looked sexy!

 

Stay away from Maaco, hit up Corey (PPG_Freak) he's a good guy and also owns a G sick paint job....

 

here everyone's saying it will cost you at least 5000 and your talking about a 300 dollar paint job?????????????
good luck.
