Is this Flat black? Or would flat black be darker then this? If that's the case then does anyone know what kinda paint this would be?

that car looks like shit that's why. if i did it, i'd make it look fucking sick. i actually plan on doing it. don't hate, you're just seeing people that throw redline rims on a cobalt. that guy is a fuckstick his car looks like shit. bad fitment, bad wheels, bad car.

Hey quit stealing my idea's yall..... Hahaha just kidding. But yeah I think it looks purdy pimped on the right car. Like FF_drift said, it looks good with the right rims and stuff. Anyone know how much this kinda stuff would run?

 

[ff_drift_lol]

a lot...like 2 grand. i talked to the guy at my shop about it he says it costs about 1500 just for the paint. that's just base coat...being there's no need for clear on matte colors. i think they put it on extra thick though. i always wondered how they wet sand and polish that stuff...do they even? i'll get some more info on it any post back here.

Sweet thanx man. I'm gonna check around here cause to re-paint my car it would cost 5 grand so if that way is cheaper then Hot damn I'm in. Plus, I found some rims that I think would look awesome with that paint scheme

you never polished an older car? put the pad on the paint, turn it on, look down at pad and its the same color as the car. lol no clearcoat, research it mofucka

 

[Wisenos]

ya guys remember old hotwheels that changed color under different temp of water?...
i'd like to know how much would cost a complete paint on a real car lol and where i could get this special paint

nevermind i found what i was looking for...
thermochromic paint... and needs a special "sunscreen" clearcoat

 

[Aredtear]

I never thought of that before.... That would be whicked to see on a car
