The Benz & Rolls are MORE of a satin black or semi-gloss, That would look hot

 

my buddy is calling his paint guy today to see how much and when he can get me in. i got a quote of 4k-5k to paint the whole car with jams.

 

clean it just like any other car. it has clear coat over it. it the paint itself that is a no gloss or flat that gives it that look. i have heard that cars painted like this dont have a sealer in them so they oxidize easy...? can anyone shed some light on that for me.

 

I think it works for the new exotic bat mobile too. I say go with it man. Even God can't please everyone.

 

Just a guess, but I would assume you could locate some flat or satin clear?

 

I think the Ferrari and the Porsche doesn't look too good...You should stick with the Mercedes and Bentley's style. The Ferrari's Rims kills the whole set-up and the matt black looks cheap...But it could be the lighting...The Mercedes pulled it off nicely...It has some color and some contrast...The slight red and little chrome accents makes the car look really nice. The Enzo is too plain and it just looks like a cheap paint job...

 

I spoke to a local guy, a while back, that restores muscle cars. They have gone away from the "flat" blacks of old. They use a combination of a flat base with a a satin clear. They also now have what is called a mat paint. You wash and wax as usual, with no oxidation.

 

why would somenoe want to do this. It would be like one of the honda guys rolling around with paint stripped off and his new body kit installed lol

 

Car needs to be extremely pimped out to look good in that color.

 

^+1. I agree. I also think it is a must to keep clean, otherwise it may look under construction on a full time basis.

But I dont think it will look like those "honda guys" with color-mis-matched parts. They are in a class of their own IMO.

 

They look like someone can find some and go to town on those cars. I know it probably wouldn't work with a clear coat.

I think that color looks good. I really like that Rolls. I don't know about it on a G but I guess there is only one way to find out.

 

I think it is going to look sick... slap some nice wheels on it with a nice kit and you will have all these fools drooling... do it homie!

 

thanks for all the input and information on the paint itself. the paint on the slr and the rolls does look glossy but still flat if that makes sense, thats the look im going for!

if anyone else wants to chime in, im all ears!!! trying to collect as much info as possible

 

Looks Good, I say do it as long as you got a full kit to go with the G. Dont paint it while its stock. Will look Hottt!!!
