Goliath 94 Posted March 10, 2008 Sorry to hear about the paint, one small mistake always leads to nasty consequesces. Looks like a nice job though, so are you going to repaint it matt or put textured black over the top? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applemobile 0 Posted March 12, 2008 loads of people i know have done matt black cars. its cost £8 in rattle cans, £2 in masking tape. Free copious amounts of news paper. They have been sprayer outside on a drive, in windy samo weather. and come out almost perfect. I cant understand why you have gone to such lengths to get the same effect?

toddydal 1 Posted March 23, 2008 well at least it wont take long now to prep as itll just need a key,i would just wet flat it now with 800 to get it nice and smooth and block the runs out and just hit it again with the matt black,its a shame its came out semi gloss but i still think you had the right idea spraying the matt black as you can get it on more even,,,,any way nice effort and keep us imformed of your next attack of matt black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
