i did it with my old del sol... what did i think about it? well... it was an improvement
car was red... sorta.... was every shade of red and one door had a pinstripe... had faded clearcoat all over it and scratches and wel... frankly it looked like shit
i primed and did some body work and such......... then just hosed the sucker with some flat black
the "flat black" i went with turned out to be kinda grey to
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
lol, u just decribed my car, im not lookin for anything special, just an improvement....and for my car to only be one color
that was my logic too lolOriginally Posted by Halfwit

doesnt look too bad.
yeah get flat competition black..
paul has flat black on his VW..looks great..
i mean even if you just primed it black... like you said..atleast its one color.
Bootedlude had a flat black CRX.
mine old hatch was flat black... i used some kind of flat black bumper or trim truck/suv spray [like $4.00 a can]
definitely better than primer or multi-colored... didnt turn out too bad either
these are the best pics i have
i like the subtle look.
Just shake the can for like 2 minutes so it comes out even.

CRX daily... Gas prices suck, i love my HF
yeah, and im gonna do like light coats, but like 10 of them spraying from like2 ft away.
yeah you gotta do several light coats.... and since it's flat it'll dry even as hell.... dries quick too (at least the kind i used did)
lol yeah so do I
I was thinking about the flat black paint
but now im just going to trade for a black car.
i was thinkin about doin this also. uproot, did you use a spray gun or just the rattlecan? and is it hard to wash when its dirty?? a lot of the guys on hondatech that rock the flat black use a sparay gun with john deere blitz black paint. i heard thats what a lot of the ol hot rodders use too.
yeah... i just used rattle cans... i was on a budget lol.... but as far as washing it.... i just usually hosed it down, never attempted to wash it, but the paint sealed pretty well.... the john deere paint sounds like that would work great
i love the look. looks subtle and leaves people wandering too what you have elsewhere
where can i get this "jhon deer " paint u speak of?..will reg primer black be fine though?
And miles to go before I sleep,

the john deere paint i believe you can get it at home depot or places like that. i found out on honda-tech so u might wanna check there. also, i think it is sold by the gallon only, no rattlecan. as for rattlecan i heard rustoleum satin black or krylon semi-flat does pretty good too. but it looks like uproots car came out pretty good with the bumper trim paint.
yeah if i can remember what brand and type i used ill post it up... i know they have it at walmart and advance and im assuming everywhere
i know it was duplicolor.... and i think this is what i used.... [flat black in the middle]
I think this is the way to go if ur on a budget for paint but u have to be careful and not go to cheap because it will come out looking to crappy. like fatsax said rustoleum or krylon might be a pretty decent choice. good luck ...
Flat black is a stock color on s13s I think.
urban camo ftw!
twoONEoh
ROFL!!
my friend did that with his 280z and it doesn't look bad at all. you just can't see him at night ha.

Here is my piece..
Satin black FTW!
man i would sooo do this, but the only thing stopping me is that the engine bay would still be redi take pride in a good looking engine bay and itd just look tacky a diff color than the rest of the car.
yeah but the way my car looks now, having a dif color engine bay looks cool..lol and when the hood is up, u dont notice the red, only the redtop....lol
