ok so this is probably going to end up being a really stupid question but what paint did you use and what do you do to get it on? im getting my car repainted but im curious as to how you apply flat black and keep it clean and stuff. i mean all ive know is glossy clear coated cars. im so lost on the flat black....

it applies like normal paint. and cleans just as easily

i used flat black on a project and i followed all steps as normal painting. dont worry! itll be ok

nope..... clear coat will make it glossy/shine which will take away the affect of flat

When I do mine, I'm painting it with satin black and a satin clear coat to prevent that 'greasy' look when people touch it.

Mine was painted satin black, no clear coat. After 5 years on the car it still looks like it did from the first day.
