I really would like to see good pics of the flat black.

[hkspwrsche]

I just did a motorcylce for a friend but, I dont have pics. Justin just finished his race car in the thread started by sprbxr. Check that out..flat and mean looking. It was the reason I posted some of the formulas for flat black.

[}{arlequin]

that car looks nice... does that mean that you were the one painting it?

What's the significance of "flat" in relation to "eggshell" and "semi-gloss"?
Does all that go together on the car? Even though it's flat black, does that mean that the car is smooth and not w/ the texture of a grill paint/blackboard?

What about rust protection with flat paint? Can it be washed and detailed like other paint?

[hkspwrsche]

No I did NOT paint Justins car which is why I asked to see it in person. I'm sure he did it the right way.
Eggshell has a light sheen. flat has less to no sheen

Here are some pics of my car with recently painted flat black hood. It needs a bath but I think it gives you an idea. Mine, when washed is a bit closer to eggshell than completely flat.

What's wrong with the green??!?

[911-m5]

Nothing. I love the green. the paint on the hood was peeling and it had bad road rash. The whole car could use a repaint, but I can't afford it right now.

[sprbxr]

Here is the car. It is not really done the right way. It is only DP90 primer at the moment. The real flat paint job is yet to come.

[}{arlequin]

Justin, nice look. I really dig black cars.

I also like the black hood idea. I have bad road rash too but haven't thought of that. Maybe I can find a used fg hood and try it on for size... hmmm (off to the classifieds )

here's my 912...sans bumpers...

That's downright scary...

Justin,
Where did you get the hardner for the DP90?
PPG doesn't make it any more and i got a gallon of primer.
Thx.

Justin,
Where did you get the bumper cooling ducts from?

[sprbxr]

They were given to me. I don't know who makes them.
