Black MATTE paint?

[transio]

Have you checked to see what paint they use for the F-117 Stealth Fighter?

I will agree that the matte look is very cool but from what i have seen the finish is not as durable and a lot harder to maintain than a traditional one. It is much more prone to scratchs which actually show up shinny on the matte backround.

i was thinkin something alone those lines, but more like a flat with a clear coat. i havent seen a car like that personally, but my friend says he saw an integra(i think) which looked good with paint like tat.

I think it would be OK to go flat black, no more washing the car...just walk around it once in a while w/ a piece of cardboard for masking & a can of BBQ black to touch up the scratches, shiny & or dirty spots, bada-bing...yer done!

Another option - you could just paint it black w/ clear coat and then leave it out in the sun for about 5 years and voila! Flat black!

Not sure how the application process works, but powder coat is very strong, and you can choose many different finishes, colors, etc... (probably VERY expensive).

Only problem with that is you need to bake the part you are powdercoating at 400 degrees for 10 to 20 min. So unless you want to strip the car of everything that will not withstand 400 degrees, including the epoxy they glue on the body pannels with this is not an option. But you are correct about the durability and strength of the process, far better than liquid paint in most applications.

Try velvet paint. I think custom paint suppliers and por-15 carry it
