my 99 TA is NBM. Im painting it black soon but i was thinking about flat/satin black. Has anyone seen one before? Ive seen a few flat black camaro's but ive never seen a flat black trans am. Ive got powder coated ZR1's and 5% tint with all the lights smoked out. I think flat black would be badass but idk with TA's body lines. Does anyone have pics of one?? All input is welcome.

Trans am body is too classy for that.

Nice **** on the avatar, btw.

i like the look but you need the proper wheels and stance to make it look right, check out this car https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...t-formula.html

it looks sick when done right, but you gotta keep the car clean as **** and stocked up on tire shine or they can look kinda, idk,dindgy? like a black car covered in road salt... Spend the money and get a quality paint and matte clear, dont just use some primer, the matte clear will protect the paint and keep it looking good for a long time, but its very pricey..

for the amount of money to do this why bother.

NBM when clean and straight is a real tight color and rare as ****.

NBM owns Black IMO. Flat black makes fbodies look like total crap, it's no different than someone giving a 1983 civic a $5 spray can paint job, and on a TA would look just as good as it does on the 83 Civic. :puke: If anything at least do a well done satin black or gloss black if you're that fixed on painting it black.

flat black looks like a cheap paint job imo. and nbm is an awesome color.

I've seen the vid but I can't remember where it's at...

I think it's on 1320 or something. The Flat Black WS6 with an LSX in it.

come to think of it.....a really fast car will always look good in any color or paint

but it could always look better.

Instead of black, how about satin blue, like this lambo:

I've seen a satin black lamborghini and it looked great, but that was on a showroom floor. Satin black is hard to photoshop too unfortunately... Otherwise, I'd do it.

Theres always talk about satin black cars and only a handful of people who ever do it and it always seems to turn out with a sinister looking car. But you can tell when someone invests the money to make it look good. But a paint job is a paint job, its gonna cost money to have it done and its gonna cost more to have it done right.

When I was shopping for a car I came across a satin black LT1 Z28 with chrome ZR1s on it and that car looked simply badass. I wish that the deal would have went through, and that car would be sitting here instead of my polo green z, but I'm still happy with my car.

But anyway if you want to satin your car, go do it, but do it right and make everyone else jelious. Well minus a handful of people that will usually hate on most peoples cars.

Good luck

well it will have powdercoated black zr1's with 315's on the back and lowerd. its already got a mean *** stance to it. I think it will look sweet. that flat formula looks sweet except for the wheels and its a formula (no ws6 ground affects and spoiler)

It would most def. be done right. Matte clear and all. Im not doing it myself. I got a body man thats been painting cars since i was a kid. If i decide to do it, its going to be done correct. No cut'n corners.

****DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT MY CAR AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.****

I know I found these pics in a thread on here somewhere but I don't remember where. I like it but it seriously needs the TA spoiler to look complete. Plus it's not an LS TA but I think the LT1 TAs still hold their own styling wise.

That LT1 TA looks really good, but it definitely needs the rear spoiler though.

LT1-Camo

Agreed.. To me, some flat black cars look like they came outta the junkyard.
