stylieee Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 anyone got any pics of mat-black painted supras? i'm toying with the idea but can't make my mind up. also, would the bodywork be more prone to rust with mat paint? im just thinking that it would be more porus without any lacquer wouldnt it?

tbourner Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'd quite like a matt black Scooby or Evo I think, very stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Isn't the Do-Luck Supra matt black? http://www.do-luck.co.uk/images2/jza80late1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylieee Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 wouldn,t you use a matt/satin laquer? ahh good thinking! i'm still not decided... i'm gonna have veilside skirts, spats, overfenders, and top secret front. thought mat black might look mean, but it would be cheaper to stick with the toyota black it already is.

Elmo Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Is that like chalk board black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Although I'm sure it would look quite cool matt black, I don't think I'd be so impressed after I'd spent a couple of hours cleaning the car and it still didn't shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I remember you mentioning it Si Will look good. I think it needs to be done a few times though for it to grow on me. More coats are probably needed too for it to have real cred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Matt black is almost impossible to keep clean:( Sain black is much better - I had a crappy old Granada which I played around with and soon discovered this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think with the right kit it would look very nice in matt / satin black, i remember seeing an rx7 done this way. Thge only thing that would bother me is some numpty coming up to me saying when are you going to spray it Matt black is almost impossible to keep clean:( Sain black is much better - I had a crappy old Granada which I played around with and soon discovered this Very mad max esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Agreed. My Supra is satin for the same reason. I had a cortina that was matt, and it went a bit chalky after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've always liked satin black motors - just not had the biggy smalls to do it again (the Granny was a £50 from the scrappy job) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtuv Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Is that like chalk board black? Now that'd be cool ... Imagine being able to write a new shopping list down the door every day and draw your own comedy vents on every panel when you feel like it! I was thinking about the matt black look over the last few days, mainly from a radar absorbing paint point of view, as I'm too cheap to buy a roadangel.

stylieee Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 laser diffuser along with mat-black paint, i'd be virtualy undetectable! except maybe the baffle-les greddy hyper evo might give me away lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
