[snigalfriz]

Folks,

Has anyone seen the flat black look on a Marauder or considered it?

Considered it, yes. Actually gone through with it, don't think so.

You ever try to clean a flat color? Bad idea for many reasons other than being just the primer that your main coats are going to stick to.

[SC Cheesehead]

No.

No.

No. One flat black car is enough for me. :beer:

I think this idea was brought up here before, about the new flat look by, maybe Dupont, it was on a Mustang, a few said yes, many said no, I like it but not on the MM, too big.

I considered it as well and I think the only reason I haven't done it is the price of a good repaint.

flat black is typicaly done on hoods, or fenders to highlight a particular model (yenko, charger, etc) not an entire car.

Im soooo burned out seeing hotrods in flat black. Looks like primer to me, always has. I appreciate the art of a nice paintjob and really like those kustom colors on some hotrods.

[Egon Spengler]

Do it and let us know how it comes out! And post pics. I like the "murdered out" look.

[Haggis]

I think it's a cool idea, go for it. :up:

My roof is flat black...as in primer, because the p.o.'s paint-job didn't stay on it. I sooooo miss the gloss.

I recall a thread where there was a link to another site where some had a Hot Rod Flatz black Panther but I couldn't find it...

[JOEMERC]

or just go and sand all the clear coat off car and dont wax it for 5 years or so.it will turn flat black soon enough.....

[TAKEDOWN]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing a gloss and satin finish similar to the 2003 "Black Bandit" Green Light Diecast toy version.

Flat black is a no no. The car has too many smooth corners for flat black. Save the flat black for 81 Malibu's. :lol:

I think that looks good! The exhaust is a little ridiculous, but I like the flat black on these vehicles!

[MOTOWN]

looks like a test fit before final assembly and paint!

I'd drive it, heck yeah.

[duhtroll]

Very nice!

[JOEMERC]

dont like the front corner lights being painted over . Car is too new to paint it like that,paint was probably perfect when you did this? Like the mercury center caps you got on rims.

[Big Black Beast]

It looks okay when fresh, but it fades/collects dirt very quickly and easily then looks crappy.
