Ok folks paint question

  • Sponsors (?)


from what i've been told, if you want a matte finish, you need to use a matte-type paint.

a guy at Napa told me when i was buying the paint for my hood. i wanted to do the matte finish in the center and thought i could just not clear that part, but he said it would wear off if i didn't use that specific type of paint.

not sure if he was correct, but something to consider.
 
USe that DP50 or whatever it is...its a flat black color...single stage(ie like shooting sealer or primer)..Its kinda spendy I think for what it is but still cheaper than a good base/clear system...if you really only want the paint on for a few years just d/a you car really well with some 400 or 500 grit or wetsand..and lay some black sealer over you factory paint. That would be pretty cheap

Oh yeh and aerosol crap will wear off...just shoot it from a real spray gun...make sure you have enough scfm and use a smaller tip gun 1.4 to keep it from gettinga orange peel to it....IMO id only do a flat black set up if my car was wrecked and had multi colored panels...
