not necessarily, the flat paints you see have actually been clearcoated. They dont seem like it but modern "murders" are usually achieved by mixing (really well) a flattening agent to the clear coat. It goes from Flat to Satin all the way to egg shell depending on the material in the flattener and the amount you use with the clear. If the cars above ever touched moisture, they would soak up and stain like most flat black rattle can cars. But nope these are definately clearcoated.
:biggrin:
I actually considered going satin black. I think it would look absolutely bad ass. Perhaps the resident Photoshop expert could chop some pics of mine in satin to get an idea of what it would look like.
Really? Then I guess my brother got seriously ripped off with his $4000 paint job! :biggrin:
If it can be done to where it would act like normal paint and not scratch easily then it would look great. If I had that kind of money laying around I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks a lot Antagon!God I love your car! Tho I still want to see it an inch lower with the wheels out a little further to fill in the flares :biggrin:
And a flat black paint job isn't "murdered out". Red Barron's GN is proper, minus the polished wheel lips of course
I like that. There is a local guy who put a LS3 in a RX7 recently. I haven't seen the car yet but they say it's pretty bad ass.Here's my favorite...a guy I know is almost done with this. 600hp LSx + 2050lbs w/driver = fun
