Ive seen it done...not on a mustang though - its called stealth fighter. Very sick on the right car. Ill post a couple pics.

Thanks for the pics, deffinetly worth doing imo. It doesnt look that different from the way it is now. I'd just like a little more protection.

Yeah i read, thats a big risk to take not knowing how it would come out. But looks awesome. Ford should do Satin black from factory.

You use a satin clear.

It's just paint with satin clear. You can get it in any color. You can get flat black paint now that won't fade and chalk up like primer does. You can eve wax the satin paint and it won't finger print up like primer does.

Isn't that new paint called "Hot Rod Black"?

You get a flattening agent for the clear. They give you formulas for how flat or satin you want,so you know how much to put in the clear. This is the way I did the center of the hood on the ttop coupe. You have a nice durable finish then. I used the Dupont product. Also alows you to spray multi coats of the clear.

I love that look but i dont think it works on our cars as a complete paint job.

For some reason I think it would look better on a fox than on any other body style mustang. I think a black coupe with flat black stripes or flat black center hood,wheels too with a polished lip, would kick. I shouldn't be giving away my future ideas

I have been tinkering with a satin paint job for my car, either my current color or a slight metallic black

it has to be on the right car. It wont work on my vert but on a hatch yes on a notch maybe. The car has to have the attitude to support it. Satin black is a mean color and the car should have the power to go with it. Satin silver is cool too ...has an aluminum look to it.

to me it just looks unfinished, i think the exotic cars with the matte paint works because the lines are smoother too. I think it looks good on bmws, lambos, ferarris and newer vettes cause those cars already have a sleek stealthy kind of look to them, a mustang really isnt sleek looking at all. and the flat paint just makes it look more boxy to me
